Best Answer

That would depend on which animal.

Mammals, such as dogs, pigs, cats and humans, have complex emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, etc. Complex motions are carried out by the limbic system in the brain.

Reptiles have a limited array of emotions, such as fear and satisfaction. However, they do not have complex emotions like mammals.

Brainless animals, like anemones and oysters, are incapable of processing emotions.
