I'm pretty certain that everything understands the full extent of death - usually at the moment that it dies.
Otherwise nobody and not even humans understands it all. As no-one (sorry Christians - no-one) has ever come back to talk about the experience of death.

I think that we humans don't understand the full extent of death. The animals understand it much better

Firstly, I do not think that humans do understand the full extent of death. Many believe that they know what it entails, usually through their religion, but not what the experience is.
Secondly, there is actually no evidence that elephants grieve or go to a specific place to die. Also science has been unable to establish whether animals have an understanding of what it means to die although many do experience 'loss' which I suppose we can compare with grief.

most humans as animals can sense the death, be scared of it.
only some humans can actually understand the full extent of death, that is , the transmigration of the soul to another body.

we dont know the full extent of the death. we know we die, but we have no idea whats happens after that, if anything at all. so we know just as much as the other animals out there.

I have never met anybody who was so incompetent that he could not die to the full extent, completely and to the end.

Animals grieve, too. I had an old cat & when he was close to death, one of my other two cats sat beside him & never left his side till the end. I've heard of pets that grieve their owner's death, also... sometimes to the point of dying themselves.

I think all animals understand that their mate has died, but it's only us that try to imagine what happens next. I think, I haven't asked any animals recently!
