    I’ve heard of it causing dementia regularly in blue-footed boobies because of their habit of high-speed diving to hunt. Every animal I’ve heard of that uses its head to bash things has a lot of special padding in the skull too. I think it’s pretty safe to assume animals can be concussed abd suffer similar forms of brain damage to a human.
