Altruism is the behavior that exudes the selfless concern of one to benefit the well being of another at one’s own expense. In the animal kingdom, some of these altruistic notions can be when a dog raises orphaned cats or squirrels or when Vervet monkeys will warn fellow monkeys of the presence of predators even though their alarm call will increase their own chances of being attacked. However, altruism is not only linked to humans and members of the animal kingdom – according to a study from the University of Colorado Boulder, research suggests that some plants may also have an altruistic side.
