they may have emotions, but this doesn’t entail that they understand personal mortality.

They understand it the same way we do. Just because we created stories and religion around it doesnt mean we experience it any different. They understand, just like we do, pain is bad and food and water are good. Just because we can write papers about the subject doesnt make the feeling different.

I think you misread “mortality” as “morality”
Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Not wanting to die/wanting to stay alive is proof animals understand mortality. Its the same impulses that keep humans alive as well.

if you could point me to the animal cognitive-behaviorist paper that supports this claim, is be happy to read it
I think you are making that up

Elephants mourn their dead family members. Is that a bad example?
