The most original architectural structures of animals
Wild animals live in their environment just as we are, people: looking for a warm and dry bed to sleep one night, and someone builds the whole house, which can be ascribed to the exquisite architectural structure. They are built not for one day and is designed for housing, even for several generations. They have all the warmth, comfort, and rugged and inaccessible to the predator wall. And the most amazing thing is that already built ready structure outwardly good and blend in with the natural landscape. For the construction of their houses every species of animal uses its architectural knowledge, passed down from generation to generation, using various materials for construction.For example, the tiny bird weaver, who lives in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. Living in huge colonies that can contain more than 100 pairs of birds, creating a huge nest on a Telegraph pole or a tall tree from dry grass. This is a huge nest hostel has separate for each pair of cameras to stay. In this nest simultaneously inhabits several generations of birds.
Interesting hanging on a tree branch nest Asian ant-tailor made from the leaves of which are fastened the sticky spider thread, taken from their larvae. One such structure can reach up to five feet in length. Such nests by one ant colony builds up to 150 pieces, taking up to 10 trees, which can live for up to 500,000 workers.
A mysterious bird salasnik creates its own architectural structure of fine twigs and grass in a tent, paying particular attention to the decoration design, decorating it with colorful and bright items. For decoration in the course are the berries, stones, shells, glass, multicolored leaves. In General, all in order for a female interested in data and architectural delights. But what is most puzzling in this whole building — after mating the hut, as it turns out, are not needed for permanent housing is not suitable.
The original, flattened laterally thermite structures in the North of Australia, located on open areas and occupy a decent area. These tall termite mounds are wedge-shaped, flat in appearance, and call them the compass. Their narrow fin structures facing North and South, and thus a flat wall at sunrise and the West mound do not allow to overheat in the scorching sun creating the perfect temperature for all occupants in this house.
Perhaps the most difficult in the technical plan of the house is home to paper wasps, or as it is called the public. This is a light, round, grayish hornet's nest is built from old wood. OSA with its strong jaws and scour fine wood fibers, then the saliva softens it and chews carefully. Then attaches to the edge of the nest this sticky pulp ball and backing away, as if it unrolls a thin strip in length. And so it turns out this thin paper wall. With the increase of the colony increases and the cabin itself, around the first sphere is added an even greater number of walls. Such a construction allows wasps to build not only multilayered, but also multi-storey buildings.
Everyone's favorite bird, the swallow, symbolizing in many mythologies the arrival of spring, and builds its hanging houses in the most inaccessible places. Even seemingly on a very steep and smooth wall of her nest firmly and securely retains the young offspring. The swallow builds their nests out of clumps of damp earth, adding their saliva. Its Cup-shaped nest lined with a soft bed of grass and wool, and built one pair for about two weeks.
There are species of swallows, Swifts or rather the so-called salanganes, whose edible nests. These birds live only in South-East Asia. Swifts build their nests about a month, applying construction adhesive only his saliva. These little nests are highly valued and are a delicacy in many European countries.
