How about it, can't you help but follow rap?
You can rap to the rhythm because we humans have a sense of rhythm, but I don’t seem to have heard animals rap, so do they have a sense of rhythm?
Not everyone has a sense of rhythm.
We will praise the beautiful singing of nightingales in fairy tales, but in fact, this is just their cry, not rhythmic singing.
However, animals also have a sense of rhythm. For example, the "Rhythm Master" (praise) , the sunflower cockatoo Snowball, which is very popular abroad, and the California sea lion Ronan, who is very rhythmic, all showed extraordinary performance rhythmic talent.
They even have a common hobby, they both like Backstreet Boys songs.

Scientists observe animal behavior, understand their sense of rhythm, and even discovered a few primates species can sing, and this is not just looking for something to do. These observations help scientists analyze the evolution of human beings' own sense of music and rhythm.
The big lemur with a sense of rhythm
The "rapper" big lemur mentioned at the beginning of the article is the new "rhythm master" discovered by scientists.

The last common ancestor of humans and giant lemurs appeared about 77 million years ago, so humans and giant lemurs may have a lot in common. For example, giant lemurs can rap like humans. (bushi), can be a bit talented in rhythm and singing like a human being.

Researchers spent 12 years recording the songs of 39 lemurs from 20 large lemur groups and discovered rhythmic characteristics similar to human songs.
There is both a 1:1 rhythm in lemur songs, where the intervals between sounds are the same length, and a 1:2 rhythm, where the second interval is twice as long as the first.
even has a "gradual slowness" in the singing, and the rhythm gradually slows down, showing an excellent sense of rhythm. Tone-deaf friends may not know what this is.
The great lemur's excellent musical expertise may be related to our common ancestors, or the result of co-evolution, or it may be both reasons ~
However, I am really one of the humans who has no sense of music. Partially, maybe not as good as a giant lemur :(
