Fire ants. Known for their ferocious bite, vicious temper, and…floating? Fire ants have been observed to link themselves up and form a raft, one that is capable of floating on water! The ants will attach themselves to one another, and the structure that they form provides enough tensile strength to float and prevents it from breaking, even while underwater. Once they reach dry land or the flooding is over, they will disassemble and go back to their duties. Who knew fire ants are also masters of water?
