I think people often underestimate the degree to which many of the more intelligent species of animals feel human-like emotions. The thing that initially prompted me to ask you the question was remembering the way elephants mourn their dead, but I think that many of the more intelligent social animals, like cetaceans as well as the apes you mentioned, have more complex and sophisticated emotional responses than many people realize.

Definitely was thinking of cetaceans too. I think it's arguable that great apes (including humans), cetaceans, and proboscidians are the most intelligent groups of animals. Some carnivorans and a few birds might also be up there but idk how they are on the emotional scale. I do believe dogs have feelings (for example) but not as extensive as ours.
