Science is now providing some remarkable insights into animal behavior,
with crocodiles, for example, emerging as devoted parents, and
elephants - like whales - able to communicate with each other across
long distances by ultrasound, which is inaudible to our ears. There
seems little doubt that animals experience a range of emotions, just as
we do; but can they grieve, too? David Alderton - award-winning,
