Author Topic: Does a fish yawn? Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 04-12-2004 02:49 AM                     Simply put in the title, does a fish yawn? What about a chicken or a bird? Do all animals yawn? Any one have a picture of a fish yawning?  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 04-12-2004 03:10 AM                        Bailey, Mary. 2000. Tropical Fishlopaedia. Howell Book House, New York. p. 190: "What if my fish 'yawns'? Little is known about this behaviour, but in some cases it appears to be a response to poor water quality, so check ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate... Other factors which should be considered are oxygen depletion, incorrect pH, chemical poisoning..." This probably doesn't apply to birds, but there you go. -Adam  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

Apparently fish yawn when their water is not clean (like Adam said).  |  IP: Logged Bruce Hansen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 847 From: Stone Mountain, GA, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-12-2004 12:12 PM                     Turtles yawn.

It looks more like "gulping". What I really want to know is: Do fish FART?  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 04-12-2004 04:44 PM                     I am sure fish do fart but I know that whales do, there was an article on Yahoo news a while back with a picture of the whale "flatulence"  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-12-2004 05:07 PM                        Rachel! What is that first picture that you posted?! It doesn't look like anything! What is it?! Inform me now or you will be banned!  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 04-12-2004 05:56 PM                     If anyone were asking me what I thought that picture is, which I dont think anyone is, I would guess it is an eel. it could be a fish though, since the thread is about yawning fish.  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 04-12-2004 09:16 PM                     Do whales fart?

Lauderdale Airports and 15 minutes from South Beach.....besides the birds are too evil tempered to eat ...I need the exercise chasing them ( and them chasing back when they are pissed )....Besides, Costo has a good deal on Chicken breast by the 10 pound bag  |  IP: Logged
