Is there an animal that kills itself?

Whether an animal can "kill itself" in the same intentional and conscious way a human does is a subject of scientific debate, but experts agree on two things: animals do not commit suicide with the same understanding of mortality as humans, but they do exhibit self-destructive behaviors in response to extreme stress, grief, or biological imperatives.

Yes, many animals kill members of their own species (conspecifics) for various reasons like competition for mates, resources, territory, or in acts of infanticide, with examples including male lions killing cubs, insects like mantises engaging in sexual cannibalism, and chimpanzees fighting to the death. This behavior, often termed "adulticide" or "infanticide," is widespread, though rates and motivations vary, with males often killing for reproductive gain and females sometimes killing to protect offspring. 

What animal works itself to death?

Is there an animal that never dies?

Yes, the immortal jellyfish (Turritopsis dohrnii) is considered biologically immortal because it can reverse its life cycle, reverting to a juvenile polyp stage after reaching maturity, effectively restarting its life and avoiding death from old age, though they still die from predators or disease. Other creatures like hydra, planarian flatworms, and certain sponges/corals also exhibit forms of immortality through extreme regeneration or suspended aging, but the jellyfish is the only one that can truly "rewind" its adult life back to a baby stage.

Type 7 Immortality, primarily from VS Battles wikis, refers to Undead Immortality, where a character cannot die because they are already dead, often existing as spirits, zombies, or other non-living forms, essentially being unkillable by normal means as they bypass the state of being alive in the first place.

Humans need to wipe because our upright posture and prominent butt cheeks tuck the anus in, making waste smear, while most animals have different anatomies (less cheek, different angle) and cleaner diets, plus they often lick or groom themselves clean, something humans find unsanitary and impractical. Our social norms and clothing also necessitate hygiene that wild animals don't worry about.
 

Would a gorilla take care of a human baby?

While a gorilla might show initial curiosity or even gentleness, it's highly unlikely a gorilla could successfully raise a human baby to adulthood; the baby would struggle with survival due to differences in physical needs (like fur, strength to cling, proper diet) and the harsh realities of the wild, leading to quick decline, despite rare instances of apes caring for human children in captivity. A gorilla lacks the specific knowledge of human infant needs (nourishment, temperature, delicate handling) and play could be dangerously rough, quickly overwhelming the helpless human infant.

While dogs can't understand the concept of suicide, they are highly attuned to shifts in human behavior, scent, and mood, often detecting severe distress, depression, or anxiety, and responding with comforting actions like cuddling or staying close, acting as a lifeline through their unwavering presence and emotional support.
