Yes they certainly do, interestingly enough there has been some study of that irresistable urge to yawn after you have seen someone else do it. When you're a bit tired and spot someone else yawning it always seems to start you off yawning too. Now scientists have found that it's not just people who can make each other yawn, chimps do it too!!!!! The same experts think chimps setting each other off yawning proves that some of them are really good at understanding what other chimps are thinking about. More so than people one would wonder!
Apparently about half of all adults are thought to find it impossible not to yawn if they spot someone doing it. Try it they even will respond with a fake one if they have to!!!

A yawn is actually very neat, scientists haven't proved why we yawn, they think it is a release of built up gas, of course you need lungs to build gas, so all animals except lung-less ones would yawn, my dogs cats hamsters and even my snake yawn, especially when they get warm. So to answer your question, yes almost every animal will yawn.

Yes. The other animals are like your rabbit, when their body needs more oxygen, they yawn.

As of yet I've never noticed my turtle yawn yet. I've had him 2 years now. I'll keep a better eye on him now cause thats a great question.

I think most animals do yawn but there are probably some animals that don't...

yes they do but for different reasons than us. for example, when dogs yawn, it's not because they are tired, but because they are upset. I know this from reading animal books, but i observed that everytime i do something bothersome to my yorkshire terrier, he yawns. hope that helped.

I really don't know. I've seen guinea pig yawn, a dog, and a cat.

Fish are animals and it's highly doubtful that they yawn.
