That's like the time researchers were monitoring elephants after a member died.

A researcher once played a recording of an elephant who had died. The sound was coming from a speaker hidden in a thicket. The family went wild calling, looking all around. The dead elephant’s daughter called for days afterward. The researchers never again did such a thing.

Animals grieve over the lost connections just like we do.

How do you not break down and weep after having done such a thing?
