Do Animals Cry?

The video explores whether animals, like the calf Jung Jung, cry emotional tears. While animals do produce tears to maintain eye health, the question of emotional tears is debated. Historically, scientists like Darwin believed animals could cry emotionally, but evidence was anecdotal. Modern animal behaviorists suggest crying may be a stress response rather than emotional. Neuroscientists are studying animal brain patterns to see if they align with human emotions. While results show similarities, it's unclear if animals feel emotions like humans. The video concludes that while animals may exhibit similar physiological responses, the emotional aspect remains uncertain.
