What Do Animals Understand About Death?

Kathryn Schulz is one of maybe a handful of writers that I will get me interested in any topic, no exceptions. Her latest piece is on comparative thanatology – the study of how different species respond to death. Count me in! And of course this turns out to be an extremely fascinating field of study – sometimes «at the intersection of love, death, and dinner», as Schulz writes. What’s not to love!
