Do animals have emotions like happiness, sadness, fear, and anger?
can animals cry or laugh?
Yes animals have emotions. Some animals like buff and cows have intimacy with their care takers. Some cows and buffalows dont give milk to any other person. Dogs also have several emotions like sadness and happines and attachment with their caretaker. Some pet animals behave like a family member. Horses also have several emotions.
Animals are tested, for examples, for empathy. They share their food when they see that fellow mates do not have food, so they are better than humans. An ape who served as a subject in the medical education did not like the way he was treated so the experimenter tried to give a banana to him afterwards. The ape refused to take it from the experimenter's hand but the assistant then gave it and quickly the ape agreed to take it. - My cat does not laugh but she speaks and pures. If a human is in distress and a dog sees it, the dog comforts the human. Mice I have been working with display all kinds of emotions.

Animals have a family instinct that explains their behavior
These instincts rise to be similar to human emotions
For example, fear and fun , But do not exactly correspond to human emotions but are temporary
Animals have fragile emotions than humans. I agree with Dr. Abiodun Olusola Omotayo

Many animals have same types of feeling like human.
Pain, sadness, pleasure etc. are easily understandable among all types of apes and related species (chimpanzee, monkey etc.) and among species like dog, cat etc.
But such expressions differ from species to species. So these are not like human.
Dog express pleasure by tail movement and other body languages, cattle inspire to touch their dewlap and like that.
No animal can laugh.
Tear can be observed among some animals like elephant, but it can not be said definitely that they are crying.
Yes, all animals have emotions at differents levels, some that emotional characters are hidden in some animals and appear at others, like cry or weeping is character of shecamel when separated from his calve, also the calm the excited horse with massage by his owner.
