Elephants are among the only animals to have a funeral ritual.
They can spend entire days honoring the memory of a deceased conspecific, touching the body with their trunk and emitting very special sounds.
Some elephants even stay close to the body of their deceased companion for several days, until they decide to leave.
These behaviors are tangible manifestations of the social and emotional bond that unites elephants, who evolve in tightly knit groups with a complex social structure.
Other animal species, such as crows, chimpanzees and dolphins, have also been observed behaving in ways that could be interpreted as funeral rituals.
However, elephant funeral rituals are among the most extensively studied and documented in the animal kingdom.
