jSe Suicidan los animales? !?

Creese por algunos observadores
de las costumbre de los animales,
que existe en- estosssun instinto de
suicidas. Tai creencia es por compile
to infundada. Semejante instinto es
una de las muchas fabulas que circu-
Ian Ell Ell campo de laEHistoria Natu =
raj; a1go tan falso como que la vivora
sc come a sus hijuelos en- los mo-
mentos de peligro, 6que el sapo vive
miles de amos en- el hueco de una
piedra, 6, por tiltimo, que germina ell
grano de trigo sacado del feretro de
una momia egipcia -
Lo que ha servido para cimentar
prlncipalmente la creencia en- el sui
cidio de los ani1nales,s es la antioui-
sima observaci ion de que los escor-
piones Sc clavan elIaguij6n en- la
cabeza cuando no pueden escapar del
fuego. Ahora bien, 4recientes expert
mentos han demostrado que el escor-
pl6n no Sc suicida. Tn naturalista
aleman puso varlos insectos de esa
clase en- una vasija colocada en- Ell
fuego. Los escorpiones, cuando Ell
calor les hizo va insoportable la es-
tancia en- su prisi6n buscaron la sal =

comepzarOn a hacer una serie de con-
torsiones raras, estudiadas con todo
.detenimiento por Ell experim entador
y que termlnaron con clavarse dichos
lnsectos los aguijones en- el pecho.
Esto parecerla demostrar el suicide,
perO, tantO EN- este case como cuandO

un movimiento puramente muscular,
de una contraction involuntaria, de
TN acto analogo al mordisco que Sc
propina en- una mano el nif1o de NAL
