They did experiment on depression in monkeys.

By removing a child from its mother and building a “false mother” with spikes so the child feels rejected. Awful stuff.

Magpies express grief when someone dies as do elephants and many other animals.

But “animals” is a pretty wide category to be honest! And without being inside their head it’s usually difficult to say, but they sure do express a wide range of emotions!
