WASHINGTON: Social distances have been repeated around the world since the Corona epidemic this year. But it is an interesting fact that even in the factory nature some animals get away from their sick companions or try to cure them.
Bats should be mentioned first. The trend of social distance in case of disease has been seen in the famous ‘vampire bats’.
If the companions of vampire bats and young children get sick, the rest of the healthy creatures move away from it and give up its rearing. However, these animals continue to feed sick bats. If this is not done, the disease can spread throughout the animal kingdom.
Animal behaviorist Dana Holley says that in the world of insects, some species “isolate” themselves. In this way, they try to save their peers, so they keep themselves in a vacuum. When one type of ant gets sick, it does not go to healthy ants and is called garden ant.
When one type of termite or termites is infected with a particular fungus, it starts to thrive and thus other termites do not come close.
Similarly, when a bee larva is infected with a bacterium, it releases a special chemical that is immediately detected by other bees and stays away.
Andrea, another zoologist, says that as soon as baboon monkeys are infected with a parasite, their other friendly monkeys leave them.
Now read a very interesting thing that is known from the sea. When a type of Spanish lobster is sick, it releases certain chemicals into its urine. By smelling it, other lobsters understand that he is ill and his companions keep a distance from him.
