Why are humans the only creatures that cry uncontrollably?

Been wondering this; sometimes when humans are overcome with grief, we lose all faculty over our physical state and descend into a complete state of sobbing hysteria. Yet unlike most of our emotions, this seems to have no equivalent in the animal kingdom. Can anyone give me a (preferably simple) explanation?

In my new podcast, I explore the mythological history of the vampire, how it came from something with various cultural origins to gradually becoming its own entity in the 17th and 18th centuries. Yet the vampire we see in RPGs today has a LOT of interesting traits, only some of which are accurate; I'd love to know how you use vampires, which traits you like and which you leave behind in your games.
