动物学家发现,对于同类的死亡,动物也有“哀悼之情”,并会举行五花八门的奇特葬礼,其中表现最为特别的是大象。老象一死,为首的雄象就用象牙掘松地面的泥土,再用鼻子卷起土块, 朝死去的老象投去。其他大象见了也照此办理,很快就将死象掩埋了。接着,为首的雄象就带领着众象将掩埋死象的土踩结实,

Zoologists have discovered that for similar deaths, animals also have “mourning feelings” and will hold a variety of strange funerals, of which the most special is the elephant.

When the other elephants met, they took the matter and soon buried the dead elephant. Then, the headed male elephant led the elephants to step down and bury solid images of the dead elephants.
