Few species play socially with another species, hereafter called interspecific social play (ISP). ISP involves reading and responding appropriately to social cues of other species, often taxonomically remote, and has implications for perception, communication, and cognition. We reviewed information on non-human ISP from both print media and videos from YouTube and Reddit. We found over 200 instances of ISP. The literature predominantly featured wild primates, carnivores, and marine mammals. Carnivores and terrestrial ungulates were common in videos. ISP in avian and reptile species were found in both sources, including instances of playing with mammals. Animals may engage in ISP because it is risky and stimulating, they lack age-appropriate conspecifics, the play motivation is high, or to maintain social bonds in mixed-species groups. Cataloguing ISP uncovers which species are interacting and how. Systematic studies of ISP are difficult and many reports are brief and anecdotal. Minimally, future research should record information about each observation, including the age, sex, and history of participants.
很少有物种与其他物种进行社交互动，我们将这种互动称为种间社交玩耍（ISP）。ISP 涉及到对其他物种的社交线索进行适当的解读和回应，这些物种通常在分类学上相距甚远，对感知、沟通和认知都有影响。我们查阅了来自印刷媒体和 YouTube 和 Reddit 视频的关于非人类 ISP 的信息。我们发现了超过 200 个 ISP 的例子。文献主要以野生灵长类动物、食肉动物和海洋哺乳动物为特色。在视频中，常见的还有食肉动物和陆生有蹄类动物。在这两个来源中都发现了鸟类和爬行动物物种的 ISP，包括与哺乳动物玩耍的例子。动物可能会进行 ISP，因为它具有风险和刺激性，它们缺乏同龄的同种动物，玩耍的动机很高，或者为了在混合物种群体中保持社交联系。对 ISP 的分类揭示了哪些物种在相互作用以及如何相互作用。对 ISP 的系统研究很困难，许多报告都很简短和轶事性的。至少，未来的研究应该记录每一次观察的信息，包括参与者的年龄、性别和历史。
