Canadian geese have a human-like connection with their mate and their families. If one partner is injured or killed, its mate will stay behind and guard the body.....secluding herself from the other geese. If a heavy winter is coming, sometimes the misplaced goose will lay down and die next to her lovers body. Those who have spent time observing geese report that they experience emotions just as we do.
After a partner dies, some geese spend the rest of their lives as widows, refusing to mate again—this can be a long time, because geese live up to 25 years.
Maybe we could learn something from geese.
