2. What are the main reasons for cooperation?
3. How do animals warn each other about danger?
4. How do certain species cooperate in getting food?
5. Why do certain animals go hunting in teams?
6. What animals are experts in showing the way to feeding places?
7. What animals are the cleverest in protecting themselves?
A. People work together for a simple reason — it makes difficult jobs easier. If you had to move a heavy piece of furniture from one room to another, would you do it all by yourself or find someone to help you? As you would probably agree, with a friend you can get the job done more quickly, and neither of you will be as tired afterwards. For similar reasons, animals also use teamwork. In animal groups, each individual works to help the group as a whole.
B. Some species have developed intelligent ways of gathering food. Coastal bottlenose dolphins have developed a unique way of catching fish which requires extraordinary teamwork. The dolphins follow a school of fish until they are near a bank. Then, they swim towards the fish creating a wave which pushes the fish out of the water and onto the bank. The dolphins end up half out of the water lying on the bank where they eat the helpless fish. In order for this to work, each dolphin must rush towards the bank at exactly the same time, otherwise the wave won’t be strong enough. How they decide when to go and who gives the order is unknown, but a high level of communication definitely exists between them.
C. Animals can’t talk but some species have developed ways of of letting others know where food is. For example, if a bee finds nectar, it has two ways of informing its hive. It may create a trail with the scent of the nectar. When the other bees pick up the smell, they can follow it to the nectar. Or the bee may perform the ‘waggle dance’. The other bees understand what this dance means, and then they work as a team to collect the nectar.
D. Hunting can be difficult and even dangerous for one animal. It also takes a lot of energy to chase and kill prey, which is wasted if the prey escapes. Hunting in packs helps make predators more efficient. A pack of wolves, for example, can kill a large animal such as a deer or moose, while one wolf can only kill a small animal. Wolf packs, which consist of two to twenty wolves, may surprise their prey or pursue it for hours before attacking. If there are several animals, the pack will choose the weakest one because it will take less effort to catch. In the end, the wolves share the meat with each other.
E. As well as food, animals need somewhere to live. Some animals simply move into the best place they can find, but others build a home for themselves. A particularly intelligent builder is the beaver. Beavers live by rivers and streams and build dams to create pools of deep water which help keep their homes safe. The whole colony about five to six members, co-operates to create the dam with trees they’ve cut down using their long, sharp front teeth, then construct their home, which looks like a stick igloo, in side of the bank.
F. Animals also depend on each other to keep safe. For example, they might have a signal that lets the group know when a threat is nearby. When an ant is crushed it releases a scent called ‘alarm pheromone’ that signals the other ants to come to the crushed ant and attack the enemy. Larger animals may challenge an opponent using sounds and body language. Wolves, for example, will growl at anything that is threatening their pack, and get ready to attack. They also warn each other of danger by barking. .Because their pack is so important to their survival, wolves will even risk their lives to defend it.
