Cats and dogs sometimes yawn extensively, but can all animals actually yawn?

I know of some animals that they can yawn, but I’ve never seen a rabbit, for example, yawn.

Well, that’s why I wonder if all animals can yawn and also if animals yawn for the same reason we do?

there is a nice article about yawning in the penultimate issue of EOS. In it you will find many answers to your questions.
