Death and Animals

I am dying to find out: Do animals realize that they are mortal (like we humans do)?? Do they understand death? and if so, how do they deal with it? with the realization of inevitability of their own death?

Even more interestingly, how would one go about finding an answer to this question? What would be a conclusive experiment?
