Do animals mourn their dead.

[Catherine]

The more I get to know animals the more I realize how complex they are. I bred dwarf hamsters for 11 years. After the first year I thought I knew everything about dwarfies. After the second year I realized that I had just scratched the surface. They were far more complex emotionally than I ever imagined. I base that on my own observations.

Who knows what we would learn about animals if we put our preconceived ideas aside and seriously studied them. We would know more about humans if we did the same observations of people.
