It looks like at times the mother would go over and check for breathing and for a pulse.  |

That's how people mourn? I've seen elephants more upset than this. Just looks curious to me.
But I dont see why one would consider this special, like it's 'such a human thing', and is a quirky novel idea that other animals do it too, even though there are already thousands of examples of every human emotion and technique in other animals all round |

I agree. But still you'll get people saying you're anthropomorphising, like that's a wacky thing to do about humankind's closest relatives. |
