When Elephants Weep (The Emotional Lives of Animals)

Masson presents compelling stories and research, but I'm curious what inspired his shift towards viewing animals as emotionally complex beings.

Those moments felt so raw and powerful, making me wonder about the depths of animal grief. Has anyone experienced something similar with other species?

Elephants are such iconic symbols of memory and emotion, but I wonder if the author considered including other animals with similarly rich emotional worlds.
