A gorilla who saves a child, ants that never leave their wounded behind, a cat who soothes the terminally ill at death's door, cows that befriend each other, dogs who rescue their owners... Empathy, mutual aid, friendship, compassion, cooperation: until just recently, such words were only applied to humains.
Today, the idea that animals are ruled only by instinct has been debunked. Science acknowledges that they individually, according to feelings entirely their own. More often than we think, the law of the jungle isn’t might making right, but rather lending a helping hand.
