You ever been browsing the forum and thought: Man, i wish this place was more like one of those shitty fact of the day facebook pages? Well, wish no more, this is the thread for you. I'll post facts every day for as long as i'm motivated, so not for that long.

Animals in the graph ordered by yawn duration: mouse, rat, possum, cat, dog, hedgehog, white-faced capuchin, horse, gorilla, chimpanzee, African elephant, human. Note: variance is not available for African elephants.

The way the fact is worded is a bit misleading, what the yawn duration predicts is not sheer size but relative brain weight and cortical neuron number, which in term means the animal is more intelligent.
