1. Tigers are able to avenge
In 2007, some young people have decided to tease Christmas Amur tiger in the San Francisco Zoo. Now it does not matter what they're uttered tigress. It is important that in her bestial soul sunk deep resentment. A few minutes after the offenders had left, she climbed the fence, causing horror crept through the open-air cages of other animals, paved the way through the crowds, delicious, and look for those same three Likhodeev to bring with them a bloody account.
However, in reality - this is nonsense in comparison with the history of Vladimir Markov - Russians, hunted poaching. One fateful day in 1997, Markov managed to wound a tiger and as an additional humiliation, assign part of tiger prey. Tiger, no matter what, managed to escape. In this case, deep wounds were not only on the body of a predator, but in his soul.
Tiger later found in the woods hunting cabin Markov. Not finding a host, the beast unleashed its fury on everything that smelled like a poacher, and zalёg in anticipation of revenge at the entrance. And if anyone thinks that upon arrival Markov all misunderstandings have been settled over a cup of tea, we have to disappoint you.
Tiger Markov dragged into the bushes, tore and ate it.
2. Rats never abandon their
The word "rat" qualified people as an insult, regardless of their age and social status. Call someone a rat at work and see for yourself. In no one would be delighted.
The reason is not only that dirty rat spread various diseases, but also in their glaring discrepancy standards of human virtue. Rats is unknown mutual aid, they are not able to organize social groups. All that they can - it's a mad race against any rotting garbage and then devouring it, walking all over each other and excreta directly on the face of a neighbor in the frenzied, selfish struggle for the sake of food and reproduction.
However, centuries of scientific experience tells us that the behavior of animals, seemingly haphazard and horrible at first glance, may appear in a new light after prolonged observation. Researchers rat behavior faced with examples of altruism and devotion rats in relation to each other. In this case, the scientists themselves, ironically, had to go to a cruel experiment, creating psychological torture chamber, as in the movie "Saw».
One of the two rats that lived some time together, placed in a closed space, and the other left outside to watch the trapped girlfriend. As might be expected, the rat, which has appeared in captivity became to signal distress, prompting another rat to take immediate action to save. Vividly demonstrating empathy, free rat rushed to the aid of her friend, ignoring even the specially prepared mountain delicacies.
And this rat kindness did not stop. As soon as the release happened, rat-au shared with rescued his delicacy. Girlfriend ate in silence, just look in amazement scientists expressing their contempt.
3. Elephants mourn the dead
Elephants resemble actor Harvey Keitel in the animal world: explicit badass, but with a touch of mature intelligence, making them somewhat less dangerous. Furthermore, they keep bare. However, due to the animated film "Dumbo", we believe elephants gentle and sensitive, is not it? So, there is one ability that Human representations corresponding to a depth of human emotions: the ability to mourn the dead.
So, if you think that animals see their fallen brethren only pieces of rotting meat, then look at the elephants. Stumbled on the remains of members of their species, they are going around and caress the skull and tusks of his thick trunks.
In this case, the elephants not only convincingly show signs of respect for the dead skeletons companions, but they also buried them in the trees or in the bushes nearby.
And it's not limited to the corpses of other elephants. A thick-skinned in Kenya killed two people. However, instead of just throw the body, he went and buried them.
So if you kill an elephant and then only with a sense of profound guilt and with the utmost respect for your corpse.
4. Drosophila grief poured strong
For many of us the fiasco on the personal front and strong are inseparable, as the New Year and ... strong. Because to be human is not always a good thing - we have big brains, big love, and hence the great experiences for the suppression of which require large bottles of good. But as surprising as it may sound, people are not the only creatures to do so.
Since Drosophila, first of all - there is a very interesting, scientists have wondered about what happens to them when they are denied. Failures in the practice of Drosophila are not rare, since females are prone to hypocrisy, especially if they are just that ... If the second attempt to ... female lyagnёt him and flee. Because it is you, you see, ...
After the adventure, the scientists suggested and rejected lucky flies to choose standard or impregnated with a strong food. In this case, Drosophila after another victory did not show preference, while their colleagues more often victims fiasco chose foods with strong.
Actually, based on behavior as flies and humans are the same physiological reasons. Strong leads to the development of incentive chemicals in the brain of Drosophila, so do not get satisfaction from the adventure, they sought solace in hard. Or (in the present case) in a large portion of food soaked in strong. In general, if you overcomes depression - Macau pizza in strong.
5. Pigeons prone to superstition
If there is some kind of mental activity, peculiar to man, so it is - superstition. After all, intelligence - a double edged sword, right? Perhaps there is only one animal, clever enough to create computer and foolish enough to believe in happy socks, bringing luck in the lottery. And yet, except we have one more superstitious (without any training) animal. We are pleased to present to you the favorite of all motorists - a dove.
BF Skinner - known psychologist, who many of you are probably known as "the man with a box", placed in their cells not only rats and pigeons. The cells were equipped with a mechanism through which came into regular food, and pigeons ate it as the last time. Pigeons like the food, and they could not understand how you can get more.
Being unable to understand the concept khalyavnykh food, pigeons suggested if the food is a result of their action approved pigeon god of feasting. For example, one of the pigeons during the supply of feed and decided to turn to the right so that the food there because of this movement.
Each subject pigeon developed their own system of beliefs. Some have decided that you need two or three times to turn counterclockwise, while others made pendulum movements of the head, while others nodded. Skinner kept pigeons in the fed state, to eliminate the effect of hunger on their behavior. Thus, the pigeons do not go crazy with hunger - they were ready to believe anything, just to have something to bomb cars.
