In chimpanzees, peeing is contagious

80% Informative
Study in 20 captive chimpanzees living at the Kumamoto Sanctuary in Japan shows that, when one chimp pees, others are more likely to follow.
Researchers found that chimpanzees tend to urinate in response to the urination of nearby individuals.
The likelihood of contagious urination also increased with physical proximity to the initial urinator.
