ACK! Some animal behavior you may have witnessed: Dogs greeting their owner (and saving them when in danger), animals getting scared and running away or cowering & whimpering, cats purring when loved. Some behavior you may not be aware of: elephants mourning their dead by crying (yes tears) and throwing dirt into the air and carrying the tusks of the dead around. Just because they can't talk doesn't mean they can't feel emotions. That animals lack emotions is an outdated idea--do some research.
