This is the moment when the brave mouse shows emergency -like responses by giving the “mouse to the mouse” to the rodent colleague.
Scientists have acquired a human -like behavior in a series of experiments that revealed that mice leak to each other when the last unconscious fall.

The abandoned rodents also will be the claw of their patients, their licking and withdrawing their tongues to remove the airways.
No mice were damaged in this experiment – the non -anesthetic mice were temporarily placed to see how their neglected comrades will be.
A study of the University of Southern California was published in the Journal of Science, and in more than half of the tests, the heroic mouse “passers -by” with its subconscious counterpart, to enlarge the airway.
In cases where the mouse that was approved contained a small plastic ball in his mouth, his Faroui friend was able to extract the object 80 % of the time before continuing the first first aid protocol.
Mice will also react faster if they are aware of each other before organizing the situation.
“It seems that the mouse can deliberately lead this full set of behaviors,” said Huizhong Whit Tao.
She added that the routine is believed to be instinctive and not learned, because mice have not seen an unconscious animal before.
And she continued: “This is the first time that we have informed us of these types of animal -like responses.”
The researchers said in the study: “These behaviors remind us of how human beings teach to rid the airway of the unconscious individual during CPR.”
Large animals such as chimpanzees, dolphins and elephants have already been documented to fellow wounded or worshipers.
More studies have shown that mice that launched love hormones known as oxytocin when they monitored their unconscious friends.
The mice that have not been treated by their colleagues also took a longer time to recover than those who were inclined to them.
The researchers added: “The assistance of the non -respondents group may be a widely innate behavior among social animals,” the researchers added.
In commenting on the study, William Sheeran and Zoe Donaldson of Colorado University said the results showed that the motivation to help others in distress “shares many other types.”
