Question: are animal capable of feeling human emotions like happiness,sadness,love,excitement and anger?

Many animals experience emotions the same way we do. We experience emotions in our brains because our brain cells make chemicals called neurotransmitters in response to whatever is going on around us. For example, when we are being hugged, our brain makes a chemical called oxytocin. That chemical is the reason we feel happy and comforted when someone we love is hugging us.

Lots of other mammals make the same neurotransmitters. Studies also show that their brains show the same activity as ours do when the animal is experiencing emotion. The signals going through a dog’s brain when they’re afraid look just like the signals going through a human’s brain when we’re scared, for example.

So even though animals sense the world differently, they probably have similar feelings.
