Elephants grieve for lost relatives

It has long been said that an elephant never forgets, now it seems they even remember their dead.

The gentle giants mourn their dead by frequently visiting their graves, 'kissing' their bodies with their trunks and even rocking to and fro with grief.

The creatures also show compassion towards the sick and dying, trying to nurse them back to health.
