Does mental retardation occur in animals?

I was going to sleep the other night and I wondered about this.  Since it occurs in humans, is it possible that it occurs in other animals?

Yes it does.  However in the wild they don't last very long.  Often they are still birthed, or simply die in infancy from lack of nourishment.  If they do live longer than that they often die from predators or other dangerous situations that they are not capable of dealing with.

Domestic animals are a different story.  If they are bottle fed, or humans help them get to the mother for food they can make it to adulthood.  There are some youtube videos of mentally retarded cats that I've seen.  I'll try to find one.
