In humans, yes, but it also depends on the situation. But I don't think animals are capable of lying per se, in my opinion, just as they are not capable of laughing or crying (with tears - animals can of course experience pain, distress and sorrow like we do).
So what about possum playing dead? Isn't it lying?

Lying was always a crime, lying is a crime and lying will always be a crime
