Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-233) and index.Foreword / by Mark Rowlands -- Introduction: The Silence of the Chimps -- The Ant who Attended her Own Funeral -- The Whale who Carried her Baby Across Half the World -- The Ape who Played House with Corpses -- The Dog who Mistook his Human for a Snack -- The Elephant who Collected Ivory -- The Opossum who Was Both Dead and Alive -- Conclusion: The Animal who Brought Flowers to the Dead."A philosophical exploration of what animal behavior reveals about their understanding of death, as well as our own"--"How animals conceive of death and dying-and what they can teach us about our own relationships with mortalityWhen the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed.
