A rare encounter off Australia's Gold Coast has given scientists an extraordinary glimpse into how animals respond to death.

Similar behaviour has been documented in orcas, dolphins, elephants and primates. Scientists remain cautious about calling it grief in the human sense, but the behaviour reveals striking responses to loss across the animal kingdom.
