  • A female killer whale named Tahlequah was observed pushing her dead calf's body, similar to a previous incident in 2018 where she did the same for 17 days.
  • Instances of animals, like elephants and chimpanzees, carrying deceased infants indicate a possible emotional response akin to grief.
  • Scientific studies reveal that animals undergo stress reactions and behavioral changes after losing a close companion, paralleling human experiences of grief.
  • Philosophical debates continue regarding whether these behaviors constitute true grief, with researchers suggesting a nuanced understanding of the emotional capabilities of animals.
