Just like it is with humans, playtime is an import

Just like it is with humans, playtime is an important part of development for baby animals.

Many of the skills they will rely on later in life are developed at an early age through playing and interacting with other juveniles. Hunting, climbing, socialising and even fighting are practiced, and slowly perfected, from the moment they are born.
