1. Army Ants Build a "Body Bridge" to Attack a Wasp Nest
A guy in Brazil posted video of thousands of army ants that formed a "body bridge" to attack a giant wasp nest. The bridge is a loop that hangs down from a porch ceiling and then goes back up to the nest.
According to his post, the loop helps the ants stay walking upright to carry heavy loads usually larvae, eggs, and even some adult wasps that don't escape.
Here's a story.

In case you haven't seen this: Somebody posted video of a rhino at the Africam Safari park in Puebla, Mexico and it's ramming an SUV filled with people. It seems to be trying to flip it over.
No one was hurt, and the SUV was able to drive away. The rhino was on alert because it caught wind of a female that was ready to mate.
