Yes, animals can experience grief. Research has shown that many animals, especially those with complex social structures like elephants, dolphins, and primates, exhibit behaviors that suggest they can feel grief when they lose a companion or offspring. These behaviors can include changes in eating habits, vocalizations, and seeking out the deceased individual.
