<h1>1. Nesting birds</h1>

Commonly found in Central and South Africa, nesters are sociable, with pairs of nesters nesting on the same tree, sometimes appearing to cover the tree completely.

About 300 pairs of nesting birds use hay and branches together to build a nest

The nesting bird lowers the nest opening to dodge the attack of the raptor.

The nest can reach a height of up to 3 meters

Make a phone call in the African land, and your voice may pass through the nest of the nest bird~

Are these artificially built "pavilions"?

<h1>2. Brown gardener bird</h1>

Male gardener birds must have a beautiful house to attract female birds. It will be a small nest made of branches, surrounded by small objects such as berries, snail shells, feathers, flowers, glass, etc.

The yard outside the house also has a unique "small door"

A female bird who is attracted to "see the house"

What attracts the female is not only how much the male uses to build it, but also how unique these things are. Curiously, after mating, the female will build a nest on her own to raise her offspring, without the male helping her.

<h1>3. Brown stove bird</h1>

The brown stove bird is the national bird of Argentina, and its nest is like a bread oven, so it is known as the "baker" and is loved by the Argentine people.

These sturdy nests prevent predators from preying, and once the nests are abandoned, other birds can continue to use them as their own shelter.

The nest can withstand other harsh weather tests and is an ideal refuge

<h1>4. Yellow-breasted weaving bird</h1>

The males of the yellow-breasted weavers are responsible for nesting, tearing their leaves into lines and weaving elaborate nests.

The male bird flies into a tall grass or rice field, bites the base of the rice leaf or grass blade and flies upwards, and the leaves are torn into a line.

Yellow-breasted weavers often build nests above thorny palm trees, acacia trees, or bodies of water, making it difficult for predators to approach them.

When the male attracts the female, he will stand on the half-nest that has been built, and while rapidly flapping his wings, he will make his characteristic song

<h1>5. Starling</h1>

Starlings weave overhanging basket-like nests from vines, where multiple nests come together to form a community.

A big tree is a "community"

The hanging nests they build and weave, on a large scale and with great skill, are a major landscape in South America.

Starling populations are generally dominated by males and are polygamous

<h1>6. Swallows

</h1>

Swallows are common migratory birds in China, and their nests are mostly made of mud and grass stems bonded with saliva, and are covered with fine soft weeds, feathers, rags, etc., as well as some artemisia annua leaves.

Industrious little swallows

There are also many outstanding architects in the insect world

<h1>1. Bees

The hive is built by working bees from beeswax secreted by their own wax glands. At the beginning of the 18th century, the French scholar Malalci had specially measured the size of a large number of hives, and to his great surprise, all the obtuse angles of the diamond shapes of these hives that make up the chassis were 109 ° 28 ′, and all the sharp angles were 70 ° 32 ′.

Bee is a "genius mathematician and designer"

<h1>2. Stone moth</h1>

Stone moths can build houses from anything, and if the building material is too large, they will quickly cut it into a proper shape with their powerful jaws, and then they will use saliva as glue to glue the various building materials by secreting a filamentous liquid.

These small houses often fool hungry predators and ensure that they can grow up safely.

People use this habit of stone moths to make them use various precious metals and gems to create beautiful huts as decorations (in this process, people do not harm stone moths, once they become adults, they are released)

This is probably the most expensive house in the bug world

<h1>3. Compass termites</h1>

This is a unique sight in Australia – on the vast expanse of ground, nests of all sizes are abundant.

Their nests are hard as cement mound shells, called ant mounds, 2-3 meters high

Amazingly, the temperature in the compass ant nest is always kept at 30 to 32 ° C, and their ability to adjust the temperature is almost comparable to modern air conditioning.

At noon, the moat is narrower facing the sun to avoid overheating in the nest. When the sun is at its weakest in the morning and evening, the wide side of the mound faces the sun in order to absorb the most heat. Depending on the change in temperature, block or expand the channels within the nest to regulate the airflow.

Architects took inspiration from the nest construction of compass ants to build houses with natural ventilation systems

<h1>4. Ants

The most amazing thing about ant nests is that the area closest to the surface has the most ant chambers, and the deeper the depth, the fewer the ant chambers and the smaller the area.

Everyone is familiar with ant nests

In order to do this, ants must understand their depth relative to the ground. But how they "work" remains a mystery, and scientists speculate that ants may measure depth by sensing carbon dioxide levels in the soil.

<h1>5. Leaf weaver ants</h1>

As the name suggests, the nests of leaf weavers are related to the leaves. Their nests are mainly made of secretions spit out by larvae and bonding with plant leaves.

Their strength is amazing, and they can easily lift large green insects that are several times their size.

<h1>6. Hanging leaf spider</h1>

The spider web is the home of the spider, and it depends on it for eating and resting. But spider webs can't shield the wind and rain, so this clever spider has created a unique "home" for itself.

<h1>7. Silkhenge spider</h1>

This mysterious structure was found in Peru as if it were a spire enclosed by a fence and a crown woven with silk threads. This is specially built by the Silkhenge spider to protect the safety of the baby spider.

Probably built to prevent some flightless reptiles from invading

Mammalian nesting techniques are not bad either

<h1>1. Beaver

The effect of the beaver dam on the improvement of the natural environment can allow the river to no longer experience the alternation of dry period and flood period, but maintain a relatively stable flow. To some extent, beavers are regarded by ecologists as key species in the forest environment.

After the completion of the dam, the water surface rises, and even if the dry period comes, the water surface will not drop significantly. So, the beavers can safely build their homes in this small reservoir.

Even for an ordinary person, it is not easy to build such a dam

This is the luxurious residence built by the beaver, which is very spacious, with wet and dry partitions, both daily living places and places to store food. The entrance is below the water so it is very safe and no hunters are able to enter their dwellings.

In addition to being a natural civil engineer, beavers are also excellent lumberjacks. Relying on their incomparably powerful front teeth, they can easily nibble down a large tree with a thick bowl mouth.

In order to avoid predators, they tried to lie down day and night, and only sneaked to the shore after dark to cut wood.

<h1>2. Groundhog</h1>

Gophers' burrowing skills are first-class, and their burrows can really be called a "town", they will collect a lot of food, send it to the burrow, and live a self-sufficient otaku life.

Their caves are subjected to temperature changes, floods and wildfires

They are quite amazing in the underground "town" and have very detailed plans for their use, including places to sleep, places to warm in winter, and even nurseries.

Other caves are used to store food or to monitor predator movements
