Yes. Many mammals living in groups with complex social structures exhibit traits like forgiveness.

My cats were fighting over breakfast this morning. Right now they are napping and grooming each other.Sounds like forgiveness to me.

You're aware, of course, that we humans are animals, aren't you? Do we humans always forgive? I think not. Nor must we. I see no reason to expect more from any other species than I do my own.
Those of you who think that other animals are simply mindless bits of moving fur, your ego blinds you to reality.

Yes, I just asked my steak if he forgave me? He said he did because otherwise he would have never gotten to eat that corn and walk around in a field. He was yummy!

Dogs and Bonobos always forgive and forget, for the most part.

Dunno about actually forgiving others. I suspect their experience is more along the lines of a super-short memory....
