Well now .... let's see what you make of this ... a video collection of "Animals saving other animals." [1] For a start, what do you make of it all ? [2] What do zoologists think about it ? [3] Have you read the comments ? [4] Have you read " The Selfish Gene" ? [5] It proposes the idea that we are just carriers of our genes, we're there to ensure our genes survive ... that's all our bodies are here for ..... to protect those genes and perpetuate them. [6] ..and that leads to the idea that creatures will tend to protect creatures which closely resemble them .. it's a sign that they will have a high percentage of their genes, and are therefore worth protecting. [7] There's more " animals helping animals" videos ... make up your own mind about whether you want to watch them. [8] After all that scientific rigour (?) I have to admit that I "rescue" things ..... and not necessarily things that are anything like me. [9] Just yesterday I got a cat down from a tree it was stuck up. It seemed very distressed and was ripping off bits of bark and eating them. Here it is .. but can you spot the bird that's sharing the tree with it ? I rescue woodlice and spiders that get into the bath and are going to die ... and put them out in the garden ! I let flies etc out of the windows .... their built-in " go to the light" programming doesn't serve them well in a "window-infested" society. I do the same thing with wasps etc. I've done quite a bit of getting birds out of chimneys too. I pick up all sorts of plastic junk that can trap birds or that birds etc might try to swallow. I'm a drip, basically. But ...have you found that bird in that picture yet ? OK .... music time .... highly relevant actually ....
