Description
It’s not only humans who grieve, chimpanzees do to which has opened up a whole avenue of research and understanding into the emotions of many different animals. With the death of a loved one, chimps have been observed acting very human-like in their mourning.
The important bonds between chimpanzees can also be seen when the grieve for their dead. Those who were closest to the deceased are visibly more upset and spend a lot more time in the process of mourning. Mothers will carry their dead babies around; others will groom their friend. This shows their diverse and complex emotions, and most importantly, their ability to love.
