Animal Grief by David Alderton [New]

ISBN: 9781845842888 / 184584288X - Animal Grief: How Animals Mourn by David Alderton. Published by Hubble & Hattie, 2011. Hardcover. New. 80 pp. 

There seems little doubt that animals experience a range of emotions, just as we do; but can they grieve, too? David Alderton’s highly original, authoritative text is superbly supported by a series of stunning and sensitive photographs, carefully chosen to reflect and exemplify the subject matter.

Science is now providing some remarkable insights into animal behaviour, 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...?

Evidence exists that animals do feel grief. In addition, David Alderton - award-winning, multi-million selling specialist animal author - contends that emotions, including grief, can potentially have a positive survival value for a species.
