Other animals are so fascinating sometimes

Just the other day I saw a massive flock of hundreds of birds flying together in the sky. The way that they all instinctively fly in packs like that is so cool, especially if they're in a V formation. They all know to fly south in the Winter too, with no recorded evidence of seasonal changes, it's just a behavioral pattern they all instinctively adapted throughout time. They teach their young ones to fly, and live in nests that they make themselves.
Then there's ants, you see ant-hills everywhere. Homes for different families of them. They all bring food back to their dirt homes in packs and communicate with each other on a level beyond verbal language.
What are some other really extravagent and unique other species in your opinion?

Bees man. They have a more efficient democratic system than we do. Plus all their sophisticated dance communication. http://www.amazon.com/Honeybee-Democracy-Thomas-D-Seeley/dp/0691147213
They can also sense electricity via magnetic particles in their legs. This lets them know which flowers have already been harvested, since recently touched flowers lost all their charge from the contact. And who knows what else they determine with such a sensitive/unique sense.
I've always wondered how they originally figured out how to make honey too. The evolution of a honeybee is weird to think about.

Humans have the capability to sense electro-magnetic fields too. I consider myself one of the few, a skill I gained from working around electronic devices day in and out.
Funny thing, my body will actually drain the electricity out of devices and resurge it depending on the hardware. I don't know how, but here's an example:
A friend and I went to a kroger and out of curiosity my buddy decided to hop on one of those handicapped carts and ride around on it. He was having fun so I decided to hop on it and ... nothing. It wouldn't work when I was on. No power, no response. I get off, he gets on, it comes back to life.
Humans are animals, we have the ability to do some crazy things.
Edit: A coworker mentioned that men have more iron in their blood and concentrated around their noses(third eye) so they can sense the direction of the north pole. I don't know if there is any merit to this, but interesting to think about.
-------------------- No one behind, no one ahead. The path the ancients cleared has closed. And the other path, everyone's path, easy and wide, goes nowhere. I am alone and find my way.

I've spent time looking at ant hills. It seems that they spend most of their time making the outer ridges of the ant hill higher. I've witness them take a tiny piece of sand from inside their nest or home (whatever it's called inside the ant hill) and place it on the outer ridge ridges of the entrance hole. I assume that after days of continuously doing this same action that's how they get a volcano like structure for their ant hill home.
