Elephants have been known to die of broken hearts if a mate dies. They refuse to eat and will lay down, shedding tears until they starve to death. They refuse all human help.
i am almost in tears right now. look at that baby elephant crying.
i cannot right now.They’re also the only animals, besides humans, that react emotionally (or at least with interest) to the bones of their own kind.
So sad :(
