Why do hamsters yawn?

Answer 1

Well no body can be completely sure but people think that...... #1. The first states that yawning occurs when the animal's blood contains increased amounts of carbon dioxide and, therefore, becomes in need of the influx of oxygen that a yawn can provide. Researchers believed this theory to be true at least since Hippocrates, but studies have since shown it to be either incorrect or, at the very least, flawed. Yawning may, in fact, reduce oxygen intake compared to normal respiration, not increase it. #2. The second notion states that yawning is the body's way of controlling the animal's brain temperature. The process is thought to cool off your brain, much like a fan cools the inside of a computer. #3. Another speculated reason for yawning is the desire to stretch their muscles, prefurably after a nice and resting nap. All these are just thoughts and beilifs, but you never know one of them could be true! well I hope that helped!
