Elephants Show Mercy and Help Other Animals

If these elephants watch this elephant die, try to resuscitate it, then except that the elephant has died, and ritualistically bury it by putting leaves in the body, that suggests a real awareness of self. So that's nos mere animal behavior. That's animals who are aware of loss and identity and a sense of an after life. But why shouldn't they create art to work through those feelings? If they have the sophistication to bury a body and put leaves on it, then they need to have mechanisms to understand the complexity of those emotions. And that's what art does, you knowhat.
