Arrow The Five Types of Boredom, Explained by Baby Animals
Here is an article from Yahoo News -- with cute animals

http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-livin...193400190.html
Quote:
. . . a recent study published in the journal "Motivation and Emotion," a new type of boredom called "apathetic boredom" is described.
Characterized by feelings of helplessness and lethargy that are similar to depression, it's the bottom of the boredom barrel.
That brings the total number of ways you can be lulled into listlessness to five, according to science.
1. Indifferent boredom
2. Calibrating boredom
3. Searching boredom
4. Reactant boredom
5. Apathetic boredom

Do you ever get bored?

I wonder if animals get bored.
