The Great Escape: Ants Build Sinking 'Eiffel Tower'
It turns out that fire ants can use their own bodies to build massive structures that look something like the Eiffel Tower when trying to escape from something or just foraging for food.
A study conducted at the Georgia Institute of Technology reveals that ants apparently perform this feat without a leader or being coordinated by other ants.
