Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers

Jesus fucking christ. That isn't losing coordination. That is being terrified of these people for what they did to her.

she would often lie at the foot of her cage and spend time holding hands with her roommate.

She knew she was fucked and was getting comfort from those closest.

I'm getting High Evolutionary from Guardians of the Galaxy 2 vibes here. These animals acted like his experiments.

Or the movie was based on real life. Animals aren't as dumb as we pretend. Other mammals are just that: mammals. The same as us. Mammals have the same feelings as us, the same emotions, the same fundamental chemical reactions, the same socialization. We just have big brains and written language to amplify basic mammalian traits.
