To hide and sleep at night, there are animals that simply find a safe shelter, but there are also species that build their own houses, impressing themselves.
The process of building houses of many animals has produced the talented 'architects' that people cannot expect.
Below are portraits and works of these "architects":
Baya finches often build nest hanging on thorny branches or hang over the water, making it difficult for predators to reach them.These nests are built quite meticulously and have a beautiful, elegant appearance.
The Ploceidae finches - living in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana, build a huge "collective" nest that can hold hundreds of birds over generations.The bird's nest is woven from sticks and grass, has a very long life span, divided into many "rooms", in which the "rooms" deep inside have higher temperatures at night, helping the birds stay warm.
Australian green ants, live in Central Africa and Southeast Asia, make nests by pulling green leaves together and using larvae to "stick" together.The nests are different in size, from a nest made from a leaf to a bunch of leaves with a length of up to half a meter
Vogelkop Birds - living in the mountains of Vogelkop Peninsula, West New Guinea, Indonesia.Vogelkop birds build "houses" from grass, small branches . to attract females.Their "home" has the most perfect interior design in the animal world, the inside contains fruits, flowers, beetles and eye-catching colorful ornaments and is arranged to have art to attract mates.The irony is that these houses are not used as a breeding ground for females.
Circle of compasses.They built large wedge-shaped mounds to make nests, and often these mounds were built in the north-south direction.Scientists believe that with wedge shape, the temperature in the mounds will be kept at a level suitable for termites
Honey bees .The whole life of honeybees revolves around nests - built with wax produced by them.In these groups, honey bees process nectar into honey and feed their babies.
European red wooden ants built large mounds on the forest floor to build houses.Many mounds can be joined together such as maternal and baby mounds, allowing ants to move in case of an event at one of the mounds.
Red-kiln sparrow builds nest with clay and mud.Quite sturdy nests help them avoid being eaten by enemies, and once they leave, the nest can still provide a safe haven for other birds.
