Animals May Grieve Like Humans

Scientists just discovered that animals might actually understand death the way we do.

Researchers observed elephants, dolphins, and primates performing what looks like

funeral rituals. They stand vigil over their dead. They touch the bodies gently.

Some even return days later to visit. For decades we assumed grief was uniquely human.

Turns out we were wrong. These animals show the same patterns we do when mourning.

They pause their normal routines. They become quieter. Some refuse to leave the body behind.

The evidence keeps mounting across species. What we called instinct might actually be

emotion. The line between human and animal consciousness keeps blurring.
