    --- Fire ants create living life rafts to survive South Carolina flooding





    Fire ants can put together a raft in about 100 seconds, using claws, jaws and adhesive pads on their legs to stick together, and releasing an oily fluid that allows them to stick to a smooth surface. The ant’s hard covering is water repelling, the station added.


    They put their queen on top of what is basically a floating raft of ants with all the young and the larvae and everything else. Then they basically raft down stream and when they hit dry land they form a new mound.

    When mating with a female, the male angler fish latches onto the side of his partner with his teeth and releases an enzyme which causes his body to fuse with hers. Her body ends up completely absorbing his until nothing but the gonads remain dangling on her side.

    who experience nightmares during pregnancy have easier births than women who don’t.

    The Raramuri people of northern Mexico believe that dreams are the result of one’s soul “waking” or “sobering,” and seeing the world more clearly than usual. (Raramuri families often wake up and discuss their dreams during the night
