Sasha the pit bull saves family from a fire After a fire broke out in this California family’s apartment, Sasha the bit pull alerted them by repeatedly barking until the mother of the house, Nana Chai, awoke. Not only that, but Sasha worked on saving Nana Chai’s baby by carrying her off the bed. Sasha’s heroism was also demonstrated by Baby, a 10-year-old pit bull, who saved his family from a fire twice! Too often, pit bulls get a bad rap for being “aggressive,” but historically, they were known for being “nanny” dogs because of their gentleness around children. Pit bulls like Sasha and Baby show loyal and brave these dogs can be!

Gorilla, Binti Jua, saves a young boy In 1996, a young boy visiting the Brookfield Zoo with his family fell into the gorilla habitat below. While onlookers watched in fear, Binti Jua, a western lowland gorilla, wandered over to the hurt boy, scooped him in her arms and cradled him until the paramedics arrived. Remarkably, Binti Jua seemed to act out of an intrinsic desire to nurture this injured child. While this story demonstrates how kindhearted and perceptive gorillas can be, occurrences like this also demonstrate how unethical zoos are. Two decades after Binti Jua warmed the hearts of Americans, a similar situation occurred in the Cincinnati Zoo that, unfortunately, did not have a happy ending. In 2016, a young boy fell into the gorilla habitat at the Cincinnati Zoo, where Harambe, a silverback gorilla, resided. Because Harambe’s response appeared to be more aggressive, he was sadly killed in order to safely retrieve the boy. Situations like these show that zoos put animals (and visitors) in unnecessary and dangerous situations.

Whale protects Diver from sharks When a humpback whale began pushing and guiding scientist Nan Hauser in the water, she didn’t know what to think. At first, she was scared and confused, until she realized the whale noticed something she didn’t – a large tiger shark swimming nearby. Upon seeing the shark, Nan understood that the whale was trying to protect her and guide her back to her boat. Nan, who has dedicated her life to protecting whales, had never experienced anything like that before, though she knew that whales sometimes displayed a similar behavior when protecting seals from killer whales. Though she doesn’t know exactly what goes through the minds of these whales, she knows that they have this altruistic desire to help animals of other species https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTw8MR67xv8&t=30s

vivalavida:Misdirected by the media Animals rarely always test each other , or hunt , or kill for prejudice and grudge like humans and bonobos,Sympathetic images of Animals rescuing humans are rarely documented , the 'wild ' is not nessesarily 'Media Wild' |
kingw:Well aside the whimpering sound (which most preys make when about been killed incists a frenzy even) Animals just usually instinctively can tell weaker animals , and get the need to protect this obviously defenceless girl from her species of superior build(sad if you think about it) but yeah compassion is instinctive. |

Remorseful Kill A group of visitors spotted the big cat just moments after she had made her kill and expected to witness nothing more than a simple feeding. But what followed astounded everyone. Gerry, 33, who has worked on reserves and with wildlife in South Africa for more than two decades, said that he thought the kill was going to be pretty much 'by the book'. He said: 'My guests were also watching the scene through their video cameras and binoculars. 'As the lioness got hold of what we thought was the stomach she started pulling it out. 'But as the cat stood up to get a little more leverage a ranger next to me said: "That is not the stomach". 'I have seen a lion kill where the prey was pregnant but normally they would just carry on feeding as if nothing was wrong. 'But this time the scenes that followed had us all dumbstruck. 'Once out of the mother the lioness very gently placed the foetus on the floor and spent quite a bit of time smelling and investigating the unborn Hartebeest. 'Her body language was strange for a lioness in her situation and it seemed that she was clearly perturbed by what had just happened and kept on looking around as if to look for help. 'After a while she kept on feeding and started removing the stomach contents, all the while seeming to make a concerted effort to stay away from the foetus. 'But soon she was not feeding at all and returned her attention to the foetus which she very gently picked up by the nose Then she stood, with the foetus in her mouth, for what seemed like ages, looking around in all directions as if checking for something. 'After a few minutes she started walking off towards a thicket very close to her kill. 'She stopped again and very gently put the foetus on the floor, all the time looking around and looking quite tense and nervous. 'She proceeded to nudge the foetus with her nose, gently rolling it over, before she picked it up on the back of the neck as if it was one of her own cubs. 'We watched as she carefully walked towards the thicket where she placed the foetus very carefully at the bottom of the long grass. 'She nudged it a few times again with her nose, still looking around all the time as if she was expecting either help or danger.' Gerry said he and his guests watched in amazement as the lioness returned to the carcass of the calf's mother. He said: 'She slowly returned to the carcass where she did not continue feeding but instead looked around again and then slowly laid down where she fell asleep

Macaques Refuse Food If Others Get Hurt An experiment was done on macaques. The macaques were given a chain and taught that they would be fed if they pulled the chain. The catch, however, was that every time they pulled the chain, another macaque would be shocked. It was an experiment similar to the one done on mice but a little bit crueler—because if the macaques didn’t pull the chain, they weren’t fed at all.Even though it meant risking starvation, 87 percent of the macaques refused to pull the chain if they knew that it would hurt another macaque. In one case, a macaque went a full two weeks without eating rather than deal with the guilt of hurting another animal.It’s pretty impressive but even more significant when you compare that to another study. Because another group of scientists did a similar experiment on a different animal—humans. They paid people to pull a lever that they claimed would shock another person with electricity. That other person was an actor who pretended to be in incredible pain every time they pulled the lever.In the experiment with humans, a full 87 percent of the people pulled the lever all the way to a space marked “Danger! Severe Shock!” even while hearing their victim scream in pain. It was all to get a few dollars that they could have easily earned by getting a job at McDonald’s.

Koko the gorrilla cries for Pet Koko is a smart gorilla. Her IQ has been listed as somewhere between 70 and 95, which means that she’s probably smarter than a few human beings you know. She has a vocabulary of about 2,000 sign language words and has been able to communicate with researchers in an incredibly humanlike way.When her caretakers noticed that all of Koko’s favorite stories were about cats, they decided to get her a pet kitten. Koko named the tailless cat “All Ball” and adored it. She was allowed to play with the cat for one hour each day. Koko would play catch with the kitten and even tried to nurse it.One day, however, All Ball sneaked out of the compound and onto the highway, where she was hit by a car. When the researchers told Koko, she reportedly refused to respond in any way for a full 10 minutes. Then the gorilla started openly weeping or, more accurately, whimpering—which is the gorilla’s way of crying.Koko finally eulogized her pet, signing the words, “Sleep, cat.”

A Pride of lion saves a 12 year old girl In 2005, a 12-year-old girl near Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was dragged out into the wild and beaten bloody by seven men. Apparently, this was supposed to convince her to marry one of them—which seems like a weird method but is shockingly common there. According to the United Nations, 70 percent of marriages in that area start with a young girl being abducted, dragged out into the middle of nowhere, raped, and then forced to marry someone.All that would have happened to this girl, too, if it wasn’t for a group of lions. When the girl started crying, a nearby pride of lions heard her and rushed to her rescue. The animals pounced on the men and chased them away, saving her before she could be raped and forced into a life of servitude.That’s not all, though. If they’d just attacked the men, it could easily have just been a random lion attack. But they stayed with the girl. The lions waited with the bruised child for about 12 hours—protecting her in case the men came back—until her family found her. And when they did, the lions walked back into the jungle, leaving her safe

Rats Rats have a bad reputation. When somebody betrays us or steals from us, we even call them “a rat,” suggesting that anyone who takes for themselves at the expense of others is just as bad as these lowly vermin. Except that, according to one study, they’re actually a lot more sympathetic than we give them credit for.A group of scientists set up some lab rats in an experiment. If a rat pulled a lever, two things would happen: The rat would be rewarded with chocolate, but another rat would be drowned. The rewarded rat had to watch the water level rise on another rat in another cage and deal with a tough choice: Is it worth drowning a stranger if you get a Hershey’s bar out of the deal?The answer was no. Most of the rats wouldn’t pull the lever if they knew that it would cause another rat to suffer. Interestingly, if a rat had gone through the near-drowning experience before being given the test, they were even more likely to protect the other rats. These rats learned from a bad experience and wanted to keep others from suffering the same fate

Chimpanzee Mother And Sister Took Care Of A Baby With Down’s Syndrome We often think of nature as a cruel and unforgiving place—a kill-or-be-killed world where only the strongest survive. Evolution seems to suggest that the weak get cut off by the strong and left to die and that our own tendency to protect the elderly and the ill might be some kind of anomaly in nature. But it seems like that’s not always exactly true.Japanese researchers working in Tanzania spotted something that they’d never seen before. A chimpanzee was taking care of a baby chimp which they described as suffering from “symptoms resembling Down’s syndrome.” The baby held its mouth open like a fish, could barely support itself, and seemed to suffer from a mental handicap.The mother took care of her anyway, carrying her everywhere because she would fall down without her mother’s help. The mother would also raise the child to her breast to let it feed. Even more interestingly, the chimp’s sister helped with the baby’s care when the mother needed to eat.The sister had a major part in the child’s upbringing, so much so that they relied on her. Just like a human, the chimpanzee mother needed help to take care of her baby. When the older sister became pregnant herself and couldn’t help anymore, the handicapped baby died.

Dogs Instinctively Comfort Crying Humans If you’ve ever felt like your dog really cares about your feelings, you might actually be right.An animal behavior study was recently conducted to see how dogs would react to emotional displays. The scientists took an experiment that was first conducted on babies and decided to see how dogs would react to strangers.Each dog was put in a room with its owner and a stranger. Naturally, the dog would gravitate toward the owner at first. The stranger would then try to get the dog’s attention by talking to it or by humming to it, and the scientists wrote down how the dog reacted.When a stranger pretended to cry, though, the dogs really reacted. When the dogs thought that the stranger was upset, they would leave their owners, nuzzle the crying stranger, and lick his face. Even if they didn’t know who the person was, they would go over and help him if he seemed upset.The people who did the study admit that it’s entirely possible that the dogs were doing this because domesticated animals have been conditioned to expect rewards for compassion. However, dogs get rewards for a lot of different responses—and of everything the researchers tried, the dogs responded to sadness the most

Elephants Gathered To Mourn A Conservationist A Conservationist Lawrence Anthony developed a reputation as “the elephant whisperer.” He had the ability to calm down African elephants. He worked in the Thula Thula Reserve, where he spent his time trying to calm down elephants that were unhappy about having been relocated there. The elephants wanted to leave, but he managed to keep them in place, knowing that they would be killed if they left the protected area.Years later, Anthony died of a heart attack. He had not been in the reserve or seen the elephants for 1.5 years when it happened. The elephants, somehow sensing that Anthony had passed, left the reserve and traveled for 12 hours to his home to pay their respects. Just as an elephant will mourn the dead of its own species, they came out for Anthony.In total, two full herds of elephants came in a procession to his home, with each one coming separately. This massive group of gigantic elephants waited on Anthony’s property for two days to mourn his death before they headed back home.

There are proven records of animals showing empathy. Several, in fact. Sometimes, animals take care of each other. Sometimes, they show outpourings of grief, and sometimes, they even take care of us. However they show it, though, there are several times when animals have shown empathy and some of them are in ways that are so much like humans that they will shock you. Chimpanzee Comforted Her Caretaker After A Miscarriage Central Washington University once took in a chimpanzee named Washoe. They taught Washoe sign language and tried to raise her as much as possible like a human being to see how well the monkey could communicate. The experiment was a rousing success. Washoe was able to communicate and even form full, grammatically correct sentences. The most amazing breakthrough, though, came completely by chance.One of Washoe’s caretakers, a woman named Kat, was pregnant and miscarried. Distraught, she took a few weeks off of work to get through her pain before coming back. Washoe, who didn’t understand the concept of paid leave, took this as a personal offense and refused to look at Kat when she returned.To make Washoe happy, Kat signed that she was sorry and then explained, “My baby died.” According to the people present, Washoe just stared at her in silence for a long while. Then the chimpanzee signed the word “cry” and ran her finger down Kat’s cheek, mimicking a tear.Later, when Kat’s shift ended and she went to leave, Washoe stopped her, signing, “Please, person—hug?” The chimpanzee, who had lost children herself, was so sympathetic to her caretaker’s pain that she wouldn’t let her go home without sharing a comforting embrace.

divinebitshop:Most of these Myths are not even worth debating on, its comical at its best . |
THE STONED APE THEORY THIS THEORY VERY sIMILAR TO MINE WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL The theory stipulates (psychedelics) ,yes drugs , Would make sense we evolved consciousness of our being due to our ancestor's early consumption of psychedelics ,which made evolution give us big brains , we have the biggest brain of all in comparison to our relative size , we developed religion , words , literature. Art and even Mathematics

I keep getting banned , ill proceed now Moses Sithole (says alot) “The South African Strangler” “The Gauteng Killer” Known as the Ted Bundy of South Africa, Moses Sithole was arguably the most dangerous and yet charming of African serial killer. He was intelligent, polished, and psychopathic. To lure victims, he established a dummy organisation called Youth Against Human Abuse, purportedly dedicated to eradicating child abuse. He would then invite applications from women for various positions. Answering the call was the first mistake because the mild-mannered, smartly dressed executive was not what he seemed. After the interview, Sithole would lead his victims through an open field where he would then attack them, drag them away from sight, rape them, and strangle them with their own underwear. He then carved the word ‘BITCH’ on their corpses. Sometimes, he would call the victims families to taunt them. Sithole first did this in Atteridgeville, then Boksburg and finally Cleveland in Johannesburg. When the pattern was finally uncovered, the murders became widely known as the ABC murders. They attracted national attention, forcing even President Mandela to personally appeal for public assistance. Sithole’s spree ended when a witness confessed to having seen Sithole with one of the victims. Background checks revealed that he had been arrested for rape in his teens and had served seven years. When he realized he had been made, Sithole disappeared. He reappeared in October 1995 when he made a call to journalist Tamsen de Beer. In characteristic psychopathic pride, he claimed 76 victims and gave directions for a body that had not been found. The manhunt began in earnest and ended on a Johannesburg street with Sithole writhing on the ground, immobilized by three bullets, including one in his buttocks. During his trial, Sithole claimed that he had killed women because they reminded him of the women who had falsely accused him of rape. He was found guilty of 40 rapes and 38 murders. He had killed 37 young women and one child. The court sentenced him to a total of 2, 410 years in jail, with a possibility of parole after 930 years. I think this guy is classic face of a typical charming black serial killer .

The B1 Butcher Personally one of my favorite African Serial killers reminds me alot of Jeffery Dahmar, with his artistic Nature of his killings , clean and precise On June 13th 2007, a 36-year old woman disappeared somewhere on Independence Avenue in Windhoek, Namibia. Three and a half days later, a mutilated female torso was found in a garbage bin next to Namibias B1 Road. It had been professionally severed from the rest of the body and was itself dissected into two. For investigators, the torso was more than just a part of a corpse, it was proof that a dreaded, unknown killer was back on the hunt. Nicknamed The B1 Butcher because the way he methodically dissects his victims and where he disposes of their body parts, this killer is possibly still at large. His favourite dumping points are rubbish bins near major roads, not only the National B1 road. The B1 Butcher has been killing since at least 2005 when the first body was found near a power station. Of his five known victims, two were never identified. The other three were Juanita Mabula (21 years, murdered in 2005), Melanie Janse (22 years, 2005), and Sanna Helena IllGaroes (36 years, 2007). All of them were young colored Namibian women. Their body parts, at least those that were ever found, showed signs of freezing or refrigeration, suggesting that he was preserving them for a while before dumping them. His method of killing seemed to have evolved or have been inconsequential for his motives. Mabula was hit on the head with a blunt object while Janse was strangled. An extensive police manhunt that drew in international assistance yielded two suspects: German citizen Heinz Knierim and Han Husselmann. Knierim was acquitted in 2010 for lack of evidence. Husselmann, on the other hand, became a prime suspect after he committed suicide in 2008. //Garoes DNA was found in his flat while his DNA was found on a letter to the police that detailed the Mabula murder. Despite this, the trail went cold and the killing house has never been found. The B1 Butcher either survives or died in the intervening period. The latest activity suspected to be his handiwork was in 2010 when a human head and an arm were found in Rehoboth. It could be his work or that of a copycat.

David Simelane is a Swazi serial killer who caused havoc from the late 1990s until late 2001. His murder spree began in 1997, around the time he was released from prison for a prior conviction of rape. It was one of the many times, about 18, since 1976 that he had been convicted of robbery and rape. The last conviction was significant because he would later claim that he had robbed the woman but he had never raped her. For him, the 28 women and children he would later kill were revenge for the wrongful conviction. Simelane lured most of his victims to the woods of Malkerns with job prospects where he would then kill and bury them in shallow graves. He seemed to have had an accomplice called Vilakati on whose farm the first six bodies were uncovered in July 2000. Two Mozambicans he hired to dig the graves tipped off the police who then launched a manhunt for Vilakati. They found him eight months later and chased him through a maize field before they shot him dead. After his arrest, Simelane led the police to shallow graves in Manzini where 45 bodies were found, including several pregnant women. Many of them had been strangled but some had been stabbed with a knife. Simelane was found guilty of a total of 28 murders and acquitted of six. He was sentenced to death in 2011; seven years after his trial began. A total of 83 witnesses testified against him. He claimed that he had been tortured and coerced to confess to the murders.

Gein died at the Mendota Mental Health Institute due to respiratory failure secondary to lung cancer on July 26, 1984, at the age of 77.Over the years, souvenir seekers chipped pieces from his gravestone at the Plainfield Cemetery, until the stone itself was stolen in 2000. It was recovered in June 2001, near Seattle, and was placed in storage at the Waushara County Sheriff's Department. The gravesite itself is now unmarked, but not unknown; Gein was indeed the monster we fear from Horrors , he was horror before horror
