Wonders in the animal world

Not only do humans build wonders, the animal world also creates gigantic structures: great termites, super-large spider webs, super-bird nests.

The 'architectural masterpieces' of animals

Besides the great architectural works of mankind, even since ancient times, the world of animals also has its own architectural works which are amazing.

From the underground tunnels of an ant nest could be longer than China's Great Wall to high-altitude termites , nearly twice the height of the world's tallest tower. The great is Burj Dubai, from the largest spider web chain to the longest beaver dam, which can also be considered the wonders of the modern world.

Those who move the Earth

Giant termites are up to 7.5m high

Termites are one of the most bizarre creatures on Earth. In a termite nest , princess termites are about 30 times the size of workers, soldiers and they also lay up to 30 eggs per minute to maintain their empire.

Compared to their size, termites have actually built the largest architecture in the animal kingdom. These creatures about 12cm in size can build termite towers weighing hundreds of tons, as high as 7.5 meters in diameter, about 12 meters in diameter.

Not only can they dig up, they can create an underground kingdom that is nearly 70 meters deep in the ground.

Architects of birds

Super bird nestes can hold up to 400 sparrows

With a highly socialized species, the Plocedae finches , often living in Africa and Asia, are one of the most friendly animals in the sky.

By picking up materials from enough places, they built beautiful and extremely unique nests, indeed like a human apartment.

Instead of building independent nests, about 300 pairs of sparrows build a super nest together, up to 6m wide, 2.5m high, with each room for each couple. This is indeed an organized and complex organization of a small bird.

Those who dig underground tunnels are mysterious in the ground

Despite the ugly shape, the moles have a very high social organization like bees and ants.

The hairless mole usually lives in Africa, is often called a name, is easy to cause confusion - " the dogs of the sand" , but also suggests that these miners are very cute and friendly.

However, the mole rat is one of the mammals that has a unique, high-class social organization. This type of organization is often found in large organism such as ants, termites, bumblebees.

A population of mole rats usually has 100 children living together underground, where they dug long tunnels . Characteristics help them not to swallow soil, dirt is due to special large teeth located in front of lips.

Superman explores the ground

The great ants were discovered up to 60400km long.

The largest ant colony discovered, located in Europe, has a long nest of more than 6,400 km, with billions of children.

Surely people only pay attention to ants in the ability to carry strong: can carry objects that weigh many times the body weight; but people almost forgot to look at the underground structures they built.

The ant nest on the picture has an area of ​​46m2, has a depth of up to 7.5m and needs to dig about 40 tons of soil or dirt.

Underwater builders are unique

Nests are built from everything they pick up.

Unlike the interesting animals and their architectural works mentioned above, the beetle does not build monumental superstructures. On the contrary, they do little works in about a minute, but are deeply impressed.

The beetles use any material available, from sand or screws to build up a perfectly underwater construction: the mobile casing. It helps them protect themselves as well as shelter during development.

Finally, they were big enough, swam to the surface, where it poured out its unique architecture, waving away.

Smash the longest beaver in the world

Dams are built by beaver families.

The world record for dams built by beavers, recorded, is about 800m long and has survived for a century.

From the image of the unconfirmed machine, it was discovered that at least two beaver families worked together to build the dam . They sit together one by one and work hard.

The reason why beavers have to build dams, is that due to the natural characteristics of the wetlands, long dams help prevent the expansion of water.

The largest spider web in the world

The spider web is about 182m in size

Thousands of spiders from 12 different species have built a giant spider web , extending to more than 182m. Their behavior is very unusual, because every day they have to fight in the territory and with their prey, building independent webs.

However, according to the report, due to showers, the amount of insects that can be eaten is more abundant; that is why spiders choose to collaborate to collect the benefits for this, as an evolutionary adaptation.

Another exception is that spiders not only create spider webs once but can do it three times if due to rain, the wind breaks down.
