Monkey Appears to Mourn Dead Man, Tries to Wake Him Up
A monkey, believed to be the pet of a deceased man, apparently couldn't let go -- and we mean that literally, 'cause it was holding on to the body like he might come back to life.

from the monkeyI'm not exactly sure the depth of grieving animals go through but they do have an understanding that death has come. Usually this shows in them trying to first wake up the deceased. Animals form various levels of bonds that can be as close as what we only assume humans have. I've seen videos of cows and donkeys dealing with death. Kinda interesting to know that so many animals must figure out how to let go of someone they care for.
