Laughing is such an important outlet to release stress and tension. Laughing Kookaburra is one such species named to reflect its unique calls which sounds like a series of laughs which you can hear HERE. The Laughing Kookaburra is one of four species of Dacelo genus under the Subfamily Daceloninae together with the Rufous-Bellied Kookaburra, Aru Kookaburra and the Blue-winged Kookaburra - the above picture of the Laughing Kookaburra is from the "Kingfishers of the World" book by Leslie Knowles and James Nitchen (Times Editions, 1995). All four species are from the Australasian region, with the Aru Kookaburra being endemic to all mainland Guinea, the Aru Islands, the western islands of New Guinea, the islands of Sarera Bay, Sariba Island and Heath Island. There is even a famous children's song Down Under celebrating this Aussie avian speciality which is described as a common and very large kingfisher with a dark eye and brown cheek patch at eBIRD HERE.

Wizards of Waverly Place actress Selena Gomez has a very relatable laugh which you can view at this short Youtube video below or HERE. She is such a down to earth person with the media portraying her as a triple threat and the very public coverage by the American media over her controversial relationship with a very famous pop singer. It is not easy to face the media at such a young age. How she started to shift the media attention to her charitable work, as early as during her Disney days by highlighting the stray dogs issue in Puerto Rico, inspiring kids to believe in themselves and work hard to realize their dreams (through UNICEF, WE days), visiting sick kids in hospitals and lending her (famous) Instagram platform to Black Lives Matter cause reaffirms her message that she wants people to know her for her heart.
