Genes, to a large degree, determine how animals behave towards one another. In two closely related animals, it is more than likely that both animals carry a copy of the same gene. If that gene causes the animals to behave altruistically towards one another, it is in fact increasing the chances of survival of at least one copy of itself.

Can dogs predict earthquakes?

There is significant anecdotal evidence of unusual behaviour in animals before earthquakes occur however there is very little definitive scientific published work that can explain exactly what this behaviour is or what may cause it!
