ELI5:How do animals other than humans handle periods?

So, I know that very few species have a menstrual cycle that could be considered similar to humans, and I know that among them are gorillas and bats ( I believe). Do these species have any special things that they do when they have their periods, the way that humans often do? Do they sit apart from the others? Do the others just sort of accept it? Do they just go about bleeding everywhere, and if so, doesn't that attract predators? How does menstruation work for other species?

I can only speak on behalf of cows, but their menstrual cycle is very basic. After they come into heat (hormonal spike that males pick up on) if they aren't bred, they bleed out a small amount (about six inches in diameter) one time. Normally, we (the farmer) clean it up with other waste, though in the wild it is likely that they clean it up by eating it.
