Do Animals Know When Another Animal Is About to Die?

Your dog gets up, walks to the corner, and lies down still. Something in you shifts before you even know why. Animals sense death — and for decades, scientists have been trying to figure out exactly how. In this video, you'll discover how a nursing home cat in Rhode Island correctly predicted over 25 patient deaths, why elephants return to the bones of their dead for years, and how honeybees detect death through a single chemical compound. You'll learn what Karen McComb's elephant skull studies revealed, why chimpanzee mothers carry their dead infants for weeks, and why your own dog may already know things about your body that you don't. Death, it turns out, has a biochemical signature — and life has been reading it for millions of years.
