EPISODE 4
The Builders
Creating and constructing for centuries, humans aren't the only animals built to build. Though the process differs greatly across species, nature's architects hold secrets we can only dream of unlocking. Though relatively small, beavers cause massive wetland habitats to rise. Termites, the ultimate air conditioner engineers build mounds hundreds of years old. Your ordinary garden spider might not look like much, but its ability to control silk still baffles engineers. And army ants can create structures out of themselves! While most animals survive the harsh environment thrown at them, these creatures have evolved to dictate their own habitat.
