From the joy seen in a dog’s wagging tail to the grief observed in an elephant mourning a lost companion, these emotions are integral to their lives. Recent research as highlighted by NPR, shows that when a cat loses a companion—be it another cat, a human, or even a different species—the surviving cat may exhibit signs of mourning.
When an elephant dies, members of the herd have been observed gathering around the body, gently touching it with their trunks. Chimpanzees, for example, have been observed mourning the death of group members, sometimes sitting silently near the body or grooming the deceased—a sign of affection and respect.
Dolphins, for instance, have been seen pushing the bodies of their dead calves to the surface—a behaviour known as “display carrying.” Magpies, for example, have been observed gathering around the body of a deceased group member, pecking at it, and placing objects like twigs next to it, as if conducting a funeral.
