Gorillas 'play games of tag just like human children'

Dr Ross said infant and adolescent gorillas played the tag game, but adults refused to get involved.

‘Our findings show important similarities with the game of tag,’ she said. ‘Not only did the gorillas hit their playmates and then run away chased by their playmates, but they also switched their roles when hit so the chaser became the chased and vice versa.’
