| Popis: | Where should we look for playful invertebrates? The notion that invertebrates might indulge in play, and especially that they might have fun doing it, is generally met with scepticism. But given that the same was true of play in ‘lower’ vertebrates such as reptiles and fish until relatively recently, perhaps we shouldn’t discount the possibility outright. So where should we look? Given that play is most frequently observed in large-brained vertebrate lineages, perhaps our first port of call should be the cephalopods. |
