Maybe so-called ‘higher tetrapods’ engage in play behaviour because full-blown endothermy allows this sort of superfluous, energy-wasting behaviour; maybe it’s a result of enhanced encephalisation; or maybe it’s only possible if extensive parental care allows juveniles enough behavioural ‘security’ to indulge in carefree behaviour.
