Animals don't worry about getting old but some do prepare. Elephant herds are led by an older female elephant. She knows the path they should take to and from the watering holes and when to leave for the holes and return to the trees. She knows how to protect the very old and very young from attacks. She teaches this to the herd. There are usually 2 younger female elephants to whom she teaches everything so that eventually, when she becomes too old, one will take over. They know which one will take over- the other learns incase the 1st one becomes ill or dies. They are very smart animals.

They simply survive and procreate and get on with life, finding food, hunting, or watching out for the hunter! If they are livestock or pets, an easier life, and we humanize their "feelings" but they are still as the wild animals, surviving and they additionally live to please us (maybe their way of insurance?)

I think we are on the same track as I believe Geoff said he was a teacher but I will verify that & get back to you.
Animals only worry about eat,sleep,sex, then they worry about Eat,sleep and sex. Not totally unlike the Human animal. Only reason humans worry about death is because after they die they can't eat, sleep and have sex, and that worries them. me, I'm not human, I only worry about sex.
