Animals obviously see death and experience it as we do, so the question is not one of if, but of how. Elephants, peccaries, and corvids have all been documented processing the death of (as we put it) a loved one.

Domestic animal shelters don’t normally take wildlife and if they do it’s rare. It is a delicate process to save a rabbit but very rewarding.
