Forget yawning! Scientists say that PEEING is contagious
89% Informative
Researchers from Kyoto University found that chimpanzees are more likely to urinate when they see others doing it.
The closer a chimp was to someone who has just urinated, the more likely they were to do the same thing.
Chimps who have less social status are more than likely to copy someone else's urination.
