It is normal, almost expected for a mother or father to sacrifice their safety for their offspring, but some animals will do the same for the entire colony. For instance, prairie dog mothers have been known to draw attention to themselves when predators are near to allow the rest of the colony to escape. Putting oneself in harms way for the greater good of the group is typical of a altruistic animal.]]> 2019-05-01 14:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cole_2310493/jozp58np2r27/wish/355814835 cole_2310493 https://padlet.com/cole_2310493/jozp58np2r27/wish/355825907 2019-05-01 15:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cole_2310493/jozp58np2r27/wish/355825907 cole_2310493 https://padlet.com/cole_2310493/jozp58np2r27/wish/356951433 2019-05-05 16:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cole_2310493/jozp58np2r27/wish/356951433 cole_2310493 https://padlet.com/cole_2310493/jozp58np2r27/wish/357010787 On several occasions Humpback whales have been observed risking their lives to save seals.

As new predators are introduced new yelps must be developed. For instance, as humans further encroach on prairie dog habitat they have had to adapt a new set of calls.]]> 2019-05-06 01:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cole_2310493/jozp58np2r27/wish/357014875 cole_2310493 https://padlet.com/cole_2310493/jozp58np2r27/wish/357016699 I think the behavior as a whole is commendable because scarfing ones life or well-being a difficult decision.
