Among all the animals, termites are among the best builders. They build enormous mounds that tower over the ground, and they use the tunnels therein to move between their nests and their source of food. When compared to termites' relative size, one mound that was found in Africa was an incredible 42 feet high. That is approximately the height of a two-story structure!
