Humans are the only animals to go through teenage rebellion, but a few species come close.

Adolescence is more than a state of mind.
▼  Here's how a few members of the animal kingdom handle the transition to adulthood.
By the way, we were literally there when teen-hood was born. In a 1941Popular Sciencearticle on young filmmakers, a source quipped, "I never knew 'teen-agers' could be so serious." It's the first known use of the now-ubiquitous term. For centuries prior, kids were just short people. Walking and talking meant they were old enough to work the farm or factory. But the U.S. began to enforce school attendance in the 1800s, and a 1938 law ended child labor. By the 1950s, psychiatrists saw youth as a spectrum, and now we know teens are actually physically unique. For instance, they get sleepy two hours later than they do as kids or adults. And developing brains, coupled with hormones, makes them more prone to impulsiveness than slightly older peers.

These beautiful beasts come close to mimicking teen rebellion. Calves spend a decade with their mothers in female-dominated groups—and ladies stay there–but adolescent boys ditch mom for rambunctious crews of bros. In their 20s, they often downsize to smaller male cliques. (▪ ▪ ▪)
