Altruism is a type of behavior in which an animal sacrifices its own interest for that of another animal or group of animals. Altruism is the opposite of selfishness; individuals performing altruistic acts gain nothing for themselves. Examples of altruism

The reading passage and the lecture are talking about the Altruism behavior, in the reading defined what is the Altruism and gave examples about it, the lecture had an opposite opinion about it.

In the reading, they said the altruism is behavior is opposite the selfishness, which lots of mammals and humans are have that behavior, they can be sharing their foods and parts of the body with strangers, and they gave us an example which is lives in burrows in the grassland of Africa, called the Meerkat, this can make a group watch if the predators are around them while the other are individuals are eating, so, if the predators are coming next them the guards will be giving a crying alarm to give the signal to the eating individuals to escape and with that the guards will not eat.

In the listening record, the lecturer claims about the meerkat behavior that guards will not eat but they maybe eat before they guard and maybe they will be in a group in the first and when they alert the other group they will escape before them.
