We aren't actually. Many other animals including gorillas, chimps, elephants, cats, dogs, etc. have been known to show emotion just not necessarily on the scale that humans can and do.

Observed examples include:

  • Gorillas, whales and elephants are distressed and mourn when one of their group dies
  • Elephants and wild dogs care for sick or injured pack members
  • Muskoxen protect their young
  • Otters play just for fun
  • Most animals exhibit fear
