"Peter The Dolphin Dies Of A Broken Heart
The end of this story is a sad one. After Peter was transferred to his new home in Miami, Florida, he fell into a depression. Some factors included being kept in a small tank with little sunlight. The sudden separation from Margaret Lovatt after a loving and possibly romantic connection had developed on Peter’s part also appeared to take a toll on his mental state. Eventually, Peter committed suicide.
It is understood that dolphins do not breathe air automatically like we do. Every breath a dolphin takes is a conscious decision and effort. In situations like Peter’s where life becomes unbearable, dolphins can decide to call it quits by taking one last breath and sinking to the bottom of the body of water."

"Consider the termite. At the June meeting in Kyoto, an urban entomologist at LSU named Qian Sun presented a paper on the corpse-management practices of the eastern subterranean variety. More than 1 million of these insects may pack into labyrinthine underground colonies that sprawl for hundreds of feet. When worker termites come across a dead colleague in one of the colony’s tunnels, they react in different ways, depending on the state of the corpse. Fresh ones, they devour. Old and moldering ones, they bury. Other social insects that live in close quarters engage in similar practices. (Aristotle noted that bees carry their dead out of the hive.) But these behaviors don’t appear to be driven by a concept of death. Termite corpses produce oleic acid, which appears to trigger the burial behavior, as it does in several different social insects. When E. O. Wilson dabbed this chemical onto a live ant, its fellow colony members did not pause to consider whether the still-moving animal had suffered a permanent loss of agency. They simply carried it outside, even as it kicked its legs in protest."
