In a world of ceaseless wonders, a simple video unveils an inner-phylum phenomenon that has remained hidden until now. Prepare to be enthralled as we delve into the delightful realm of ticklish creatures beyond our own species.
Owls, apes, and even camels display a curious sensitivity to the touch, reacting like human laughter when tickled. Dr. Maria Davila-Ross of the University of Portsmouth observed, “I was amazed at the way apes responded to being tickled – the apes seem to behave in the same way humans and children behave when they are being tickled.” These creatures emit “positive vocalizations,” much like our own gleeful chuckles.
Initially, chickens seemed an unlikely candidate for this select group of ticklish animals. Yet, Francis the hen, a resident of a Texas hobby farm, has proved this assumption wrong. Her caretaker, Lisa, discovered the endearing fact that Francis would laugh hysterically when tickled.
Moved by Francis’ infectious joy, Lisa decided to capture this precious moment on video, sharing it with the world. A delightful sight to behold, Francis and her laughter have charmed countless viewers.
Unconfirmed sources suggest Francis may belong to the exotic Ayam Ketawa breed, also known as the “laughing chicken.” Known for their “maniacal laughing vocalizations,” these chickens have been revered in their native Indonesia, so much that only royalty could possess them until recently.
In the video, Lisa introduces Francis before demonstrating her delightful reaction. When tickled under her wings, Francis cackles loudly, much like a human overcome by joy. After a brief respite, Francis scurries away, clearly overwhelmed by the tickling sensation.
Allow yourself to witness this captivating spectacle. Watch the video, and prepare to be enchanted by the sound of a chicken’s laughter. Do not hesitate to share and pin this rare gem because the sheer joy that Francis brings to the world is an experience that must be passed on to others.
Share this because you can make someone’s day.
