the penguins on that planet earth programme a few weeks back is worth watching... especially the time lapse stuff when the mothers went away to feed and they all had to huddle together and keep warm... with the ones on the outside of the group only being there for a certain time before moving towards the centre.

sword fish... if one is caught the other will nose dive to the bottom and kill itself... i no longer eat it now a shame cause its damn tasty.
Elephants as well though they don't kill themselves if one dies.

thanks and yeah I saw that pengiuns docu, amazing. though I was wondering why they don't just move to somewhere more accomodating.

quite a few species of bird pair up for life. couldn't give you names off the top of my head, but it'll be easily researchable...

Gibbon apes, wolves, termites, coyotes, barn owls, beavers, bald eagles, golden eagles, condors, swans, brolga cranes, French angel fish, sandhill cranes, pigeons, prions (a seabird), red-tailed hawks, anglerfish, ospreys, prairie voles (a rodent), and black vultures

wow, great thanks kelpie :)
and next on your homework agenda, animals with mutually beneficial relationships, ie; the cleaner fish and whoever he is cleaning?

apparently, though most of them put it about a bit outside of their main mate, Black Vultures will gang up and attack any other Black Vulture they see shagging around.

(Nov 23 06, 01:59)Same with humans, ie. when in California you watch Chicago snowed under on the news and can't come up with a clear answer why people do this to themselves.

you after any old kind of symbiosis or specifically mutualism?
the best one i remember from school is the orange trees and their rhizomatic fungi that do something nice for them or something.

or like the fig tree and that pink slut of a beastie.

"Cecrops (sē`krŏps), in Greek mythology, founder and first king of Athens. A primeval being, he was half man and half serpent. As a maker of laws, he abolished human sacrifice, established monogamy, and initiated burial of the dead."
