00:00Animal architecture, how wildlife builds extraordinary nests across the world.
00:05A bald eagle lands on a massive stick nest above a pine.
00:10Animal nests can grow into towers, platforms, chambers, mounds, and hanging woven homes.
00:15Bald eagles stack branches for years, building nests so wide that pine limbs bend under the

01:22Hamercops build huge domed nests in African trees, hiding tunnel entrances inside heavy
01:27walls of sticks.
01:29Branches, grass, mud, saliva, and leaves become animal architecture far larger than most people
