| Life on mirth! Who said animals don't have a sense of humour?
By Daily Mail Reporter Sometimes you just have to see the funny side of life - and these animals certainly do. Following the example of the 'happypotamus' featured in the Mail recently, there are lots of other creatures which also boast a funny bone. Amazingly, scientists believe chimps, dogs and even rats are capable of laughter - and that the ability to laugh came before speech in humans. From delighted dolphins to amused apes, something's certainly put a smile on these animals' faces...
