There have been several published lists of criteria for establishing whether non-human animals experience pain, e.g. [39] [40] Some criteria that may indicate the potential of another species, including crustaceans, to feel pain include: [40]
Fish fulfill several criteria proposed as indicating that non-human animals experience pain. These fulfilled criteria include a suitable nervous system and sensory receptors, opioid receptors and reduced responses to noxious stimuli when given analgesics and local anaesthetics, physiological changes to noxious stimuli, displaying protective motor reactions, exhibiting avoidance learning and ...
What level of pain do fish feel? That, too, is unknown. Zangroniz said studies only use a few species of fish and don't represent the more than 30,000 fish species that exist.
It’s pretty obvious that animals can feel grief. ... Saber-toothed cats of the extinct genus Homotherium lived across the globe during the Pliocene (5.3 million to 2.6 million years ago) and ...

Having no linguistic means to communicate emotion beyond behavioral response interpretation, the difficulty of providing an account of emotion in animals relies heavily on ...
In one study, [76] three decapod crustacean species, Louisiana red swamp crayfish, white shrimp and grass shrimp, were tested for nociceptive behaviour by applying sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, or benzocaine to the antennae. This caused no change in behaviour in these three species compared to controls.
These Australian mammals are part of a mostly-extinct group of mammals known as monotremes that have some un-mammalish habits. For example, laying eggs! However, like other good mammal mothers ...
Syncaris pasadenae is an extinct species of freshwater shrimp in the family Atyidae. [1] [2] [3]It lived in the drainage basin of the Los Angeles River, near Pasadena, San Gabriel and Warm Creek, [4] and was originally described from material collected near where the Rose Bowl now stands.
