Dogs will guard the body of their dead human and also sniff and then lay down beside a member of their pack. We have witnessed this behavior more than once. Our cats meowed and meowed when one of our dogs died and then groomed her as they would groom each other. Chimps, like humans, are complex, intelligent creatures.

You can’t say that about Pan paniscus. They’re still SPECIAL. And loving. And progressive, and liberal and a model for us all. Wahhhhh

Elephants and dogs and many other animals are reported to recognize the difference between a dead body and the living creature that was before. Elephants and chimps mourn for their dead.

The article you have linked asks if chimps understand death. How do chimps decide if a chimp is dead or only unconscious? Do they understand that a chimp will be dead if they keep beating him up? Is their act of cannibalism also something to make sure he is dead?

I presume this story is relevant now because Jane Goodall said: “In many ways the performances of Donald Trump remind me of male chimpanzees and their dominance rituals”.
She also said: “The more vigorous and imaginative the display, the faster the individual is likely to rise in the hierarchy, and the longer he is likely to maintain that position.”
But this only applies to chimps.

Elective abortion and clinical cannibalism. So, progressive.

Ms. Cecile, tear down the privacy veil.
