Why Dogs Smile and Chimpanzees Cry DVD
As anyone with a pet knows, the emotional lives of
wild and domestic animals are likely to be as developed and as
complex as those of humans. Anecdotal stories suggest it; a young
elephant displays special attachment to one set of bones among
many in a graveyard -- those of its mother; a female gorilla
rescues a human child in danger; animals care for disabled
individuals of their own species, though the notion of "survival
of the fittest" suggests they would not. Scientists in fields as
diverse as paleontology, embryology, and neurobiology report
evidence to support this unexplored area of animals' lives.
