Displays of mourning by animals are rare. This is one such case, as close to humans as possible. Gana, a gorilla in the Allwetter Zoo in Muenster, Germany, refused to let go of the dead body of her baby, which died of unknown circumstances. The three month old baby named Claudio died on Saturday 16th, but the 11 year old mother continued to walk around holding him until she finally gave him up to be disposed last week. I found this so poignant, especially this particular image, especially in a world where people hardly have the time to feel.
Do animals have emotions?
What about grief?
