Does animals try for sucide?

Answer 1

No, an animal lives on instinct - which is to fight for survival.

Answer 2

Sick or injured animals of many different types will act in such ways as to guarantee a speedier end to their suffering, and this appears to include whale beachings. Whale beachings are also one reason for the qualifier "foreseeable," in that it appears healthy whales may follow a sick leader when the latter beaches--as social animals, they instinctively trust their leader, which under most circumstances would not lead them to their doom, so their unexpected (to them) beaching cannot be considered genuinely suicidal. For that matter, a rabbit that walks out into an open field when there's a hungry owl nearby may be performing an action virtually guaranteed to result in death--but not foreseeably so. Nor would an animal that dies defending its young necessarily be considered suicidal, even if the enemy is something pretty much impossible to defeat; after all, the enemy might retreat if it doesn't seem worth the trouble, so sometimes defense works.



Also lemmings jumping off cliffs is a myth.

Answer 3

some do. lemurs know when they are overpopulated and when they are, swarms of them will jump into the ocean. I dont know if any other animals do, but as animals have feelings and can experience emotion, then I would think that they could.

What are you asking? Do animals commit suicide? No, they are free of emotion and therefore not capable of depression.
