Heroes are more heroic than we thought

Brave behavior in the animal world is far more universal than human thought, scientists claim.

According to the Telegraph, many previous studies have shown that dolphins, monkeys, fruit bats, ants and many other organisms are willing to risk their lives to save their fellow humans.

Dr. Elise Nowbahari, an expert of the University of Paris (France), affirmed that there is growing evidence that the act of voluntarily helping people despite the danger is not the 'monopoly' of humanity. that appears in many animals.

She said that dolphins are always ready to venture into danger to save the trapped fellow. Many people see the scene where they raise injured dolphins onto the sea surface to breathe.

Monkeys often scare off predators when they come near injured monkeys or female monkeys. Female individuals in fruit-eating bats help each other when giving birth to reduce pain.

Nowbahari also said that ants never hesitated when they stormed in to save the other members of the flock or were arrested. However, brave behavior does not happen when they see children from other groups in distress or call for help.

One of the most-watched videos on the Internet is the scene of wild buffalo fighting with a group of lions as they attack young buffalo in South Africa's Kruger National Park.

'Perhaps people are underestimating the popularity of the rescue behavior of animals in the wild. Reports of such behavior are rare, but it is more popular than we thought , 'said Dr. Nowbarahi.

Nowbahari's research is published in the journal Communicative and Integrative Biology.
