Yes, any elderly animals I do see tend to be social herd anmimals and
primates... I don't believe there are too many elderly predators as once they
lose their strength and pace, they go hungry and die.

It seems like the Spanish spend more time with their elderly relatives than
here in the UK. I see it's part of the culture over there to have large family
gatherings and dinners whereas over here it happens a lot less frequently.
