Altruistic Behavior



Altruism is when an organism acts in a way of putting another organism before itself. Altruism in modern day includes giving money to charity, it is un-selfish behavior. In the animal kingdom, altruism can be monkeys grooming each other. The photo above shows two baboons, one grooming the other. Dolphins are also altruistic, taking care of any injured and sick animals.
