Elephants intuiting a human friend's death !
I recently came across an interesting story of a South African conservationist named Lawrence Anthony. He was known for his work amongst elephants.
It is said that just after Lawrence's death in his house, a group of elephants marched their way to his house for 12 hours, and hung around for two days before making their way to the bush.

” For two days the herds loitered at Anthony’s rural compound on the vast Thula Thula game reserve in the South African KwaZulu — to say good-bye to the man they loved. But how did they know he had died?

Imho, I think , considering this case study, animals are somehow capable of intuiting the state of close friends and responding accordingly.
