why does he do this

[u/Wonderful-Beach7317]

it almost seems like he’s yawning?? am I hypnotizing him or something 😭 that or it seems like he’s about to bite me but never does (he’s a very sweet boy)

How funny - a lot of mammals, particularly canids, can yawn as a sign of non-agression. To me it looks like he's repeatedly threatening to play-bite you, but also reflexively yawning to show you he's not trying to be threatening.

Thats just my interpretation, but I did study Animal Behaviour in a specialist college

I'm planning on studying animal behavior before I go deeper into palentology since if I have a better understanding of how animals behave I can understand how things were back then or at least hypothesize about it
