Animal Grief - 9781845842888

Science is now providing some remarkable insights into animal behavior, with crocodiles, for example, emerging as devoted parents, and elephants – like whales – able to communicate with each other across long distances by ultrasound, which is inaudible to our ears. There seems little doubt that animals experience a range of emotions, just as we do; but can they grieve, too?  David Alderton –  award-winning, multi-million specialist animal author – contends that emotions – including grief – can potentially have a survival value for a species.
