Text Appearing Before Image:
e food found by the first was being shared by all. Theassociation of pelicans in fishing is a good example of the ad-vantage of a gregarious and mutually helpful habit. Thepelicans sometimes go fishing in great bands, and, after havingchosen an appropriate place near the shore, they form a widehalf-circle facing the shore, and narrow it by paddling towardthe land, catching the fish which they inclose in the ever-narrowing circle. The wary Rocky Mountain sheep (Fig. 234) live togetherin small bands, posting sentinels whenever they are feeding orresting, who watch for and give warning of the approach ofenemies. The beavers furnish a well-known and very interest-ing example of mutual help, and they exhibit a truly com-munal life, although a simple one.

In their long nights they keep together, often withdefinite leaders who seem to discover and decide on the course
