animals that build

[kuhliloach]

i was just curious, which animals have good building skills besides humans?

i know beavers build dams
bees build hives
spiders build webs and trapdoor holes
caddisfly larvae build their own shells
some birds and primates build nests
caterpillairs build cacoons

but what else?

packrats have big nests, and alligators dig out ther own private ponds. not to mention the complexity of a termite mound

search tall termite mounds, some of those are really amazing!

Fire ants build mounds. Usually in my yard.

The largest structure made by animals is the great barrier reef.
