emotions and feelings are universal when it comes to this world animals are no different in this
respect we come and we go we hold funerals for our deceased our friends our loved ones but what about
animals well today we're going to take a look at a few behaviors that animals tend to have
when it comes to dead relatives mind you this might be an emotional roller coaster so
grab your tissue papers and hold on to your hearts as we dive right into the video
welcome to animals wild tv let's get started
some say that elephants are the most emotional animals after us humans as they express a lot
of emotions through their actions these guys are not just angry all the time with their ears spread
out towards you trying to tell you hey back up or i'm going to trample you with my massive weight
like us humans sometimes they feel gratitude towards any sort of help that they might receive
after getting this calf out of the ditch the other elephants wave their trunks at them as a
form of thank you and wave their heroes goodbye for helping their trapped baby
must have felt nice getting appreciated by another species
like so these guys also feel a lot of remorse and sadness when it comes to grievances after a member
of the herd dies it's hardly gone unnoticed we might think that these not so gentle giants might
not think twice when one of them dies but in fact they do think about it and many times at that when
one of them dies the whole herd bands together in silence as they move slowly around their dead
companion one by one touching the dead body and sort of paying their respects to the fallen one
soft rumbles coupled with these soft touches really make you think about how these animals
actually perceive death ants have been on this earth way longer than we have so we owe them
some credibility to the emotions department don't we indeed we do because these guys take
the death of their fallen warriors and workers very seriously after collecting the dead bodies
of their brothers and sisters they align them in proper rows and columns within a homemade tomb
this professionalism and paying respects to the fallen can only remind you of
a military of a country and these guys actually are armies in their own respect
a small silence is observed after which the colony gets back to its busy everyday routine
what about other animals that are a little more closely related to us for example chimpanzees
after all they share 99.6 of our dna so it shouldn't come as a surprise when i tell you
that these guys also hold funerals for their deceased in this community of chimps an infant
of 18 months old has just died due to some sort of injury the entire group slowly walks up to it one
by one putting their hands on its chest gently touching it and observing it the mother comes
and picks it up and walks away to the nest a very emotional sight indeed i don't know about you guys
but that put a tear in my eye the most unusual of animals that you might see in this video
is the dolphins these jolly and full of life and energy creatures may always seem to have a smile
on their faces but they too hold rituals of sorts for their deceased family members here in this
video as a way to pay their respects to the dead the pot of dolphins just like the chimps come up
to the dead and push it and graze it along with it gently it is known that they usually push it
towards the shore so that the dead body does not fall prey to disease and other animals but
that's just an assumption and not confirmed right now that is exactly what these guys are doing
a mother dolphin may not let go of her dead calf for many days as a sign of disbelief
that its beloved offspring has passed away so it would rather make sure that the dead body sticks
around with her until she finally lets it go in this case a mother is seen pulling her dead baby
along with her through her fin she's been doing that for days and still has not let go of it
animals really do go above and beyond when they show their true emotions don't they so the next
time you see an animal never think for a second that these guys don't feel the same way you do
crows are no different when it comes to letting go of dead relatives
everyone hates crows because they always seem to be a bother when you're outside don't they
admit it because i admit i do too you might be thinking well there isn't a dead crow in this
video and it's true there isn't one but these guys are actually visiting the death place of another
girl that died here these girls have gathered here to pay their respects on the side of the
death of their friend and although weird these dances might indicate something we might not know
some also believe that they revisit the area so they can observe the threat that killed the
other crow in the first place which in itself is pretty amazing i think if the
previous video seemed doubtful to you well here is one where you can actually see the dead crow
every crow from the nearby block has come to mark their presence at this funeral ritual of silence
and sorrow they quietly stand by their deceased and like i said before observe the surroundings
even gorillas seem to find it hard to let go of their dead sometimes
here we can see a mother carrying her dead baby on her back it's clearly understood
that it has been more than a week since the baby has died because of how decomposed that body is
but a mother's love is truly something else isn't it normally when a gorilla dies these
animals behave the same way as the chimps do but also like the chimp mother this mother is also
persistent and just isn't ready to let go of her baby just yet on the other side of things this
video is proof that animals do understand loss this langer monkey is seen consoling a woman by
giving her a nice warm hug and a headstroke on the loss of her family member in india
honestly this is nothing less than amazing and just shows us how close we actually are to animals
tigers are creatures of solitude they prefer their space over all other things that doesn't
mean that these creatures are cold-hearted though this female tiger has lost her baby due
to an attack by some other animal she carries it off to a safe area and proceeds to lick it clean
before she buries it in the bushes do you see the similarities here we humans also tend to clean the
dead bodies of our deceased before saying goodbye to them forever there are so many similarities
between us and animals that we don't yet understand after the video ended it is reported
that the tigers continued to clean her cub before burying it in the bushes baboons like the primates
we saw before also have a similar reaction when it comes to the death of their loved ones the mother
we see here is also in disbelief and refuses to let go of her dead baby baboon and carries it
around with her while grooming it and treating it as if it were still alive a full week passes and
she's still seen carrying the dead monkey with her i hope you aren't getting too emotional now
now a similar sight here isn't it almost every one of us has a pet dog or had one in our lives these
animals are also very understanding when it comes to respecting their dead ones these dogs can be
seen trying to bury their deceased friend and boy does this make me emotional from this moment on
i will never yell at my chihuahua forever biting me for no reason we just don't deserve dogs do we
