Why do Chimpanzees act selflessly?

Think chimpanzees only in themselves? Or are they also working for the well-being of fellow-citizens? Researchers have found new evidence that the primates can act selflessly - if the annoying relatives do not go to the alarm clock.  Washington / Atlanta - Chimpanzees can act selflessly and help each other.  But how often do they actually do that?  Researchers argue about this question.  New results suggest that the animals are more social and disinterested than previously thought. Researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta had tested chimpanzees: the animals were able to choose between differently colored coins.  One color only fed them food, the other color provided the food to both them as well as to a fellow-dog sitting in the side cage.  "With a free choice between a selfish and a social decision, the chimpanzees overwhelmingly favored the one that also benefited their partner," the researchers report in the journal "Proce

Balanced nutrition | best diet plan

A balanced diet means to eat varied and, if possible, seasonally and regionally. It is about meeting its needs for all nutrients, such as carbohydrates, protein, fat and all vitamins and minerals. This can only be achieved by means of a great dietary diversity. Balanced diet does not mean that you have to do without something. On the contrary, eating balanced means enjoyment and diversity and can be easily integrated into everyday life. Basics of balanced diet: liquid, fruit and vegetables The basis of a balanced diet is a sufficient supply of low-calorie liquid - at least one and a half liters per day. The best way to quench your thirst is to use ordinary tap or mineral water.

Why Whales EXPLODE?

Again news and spectacular videos of exploding whale carcasses are circulating on the web. But is this all possible or anything fake? Sad news from the German-Dutch North Sea coast. In the course of January 2016, a total of twelve sperm whales died there after being stranded in the shallow waters. Whether under-nutrition and debilitation have led to the beaching of the whales, is still under investigation. In the North Sea the animals probably lost their way along the Norwegian coast, instead of swimming in the south-west around Great Britain. Of course the dead whales could not just lie on the beach and had to be prepared for transport. To prevent the bad smelling putrefactive gases from beach walkers, the sandbank as a precaution was completely blocked. Even before a possible whale explosion was partly warned. But whales can explode at all? In fact, there are reports of burrowing whales. But by itself, according to experts, this does not happen. So far there are
