Ants and boats


More similarities drawn between nature and man. Above is a picture of fire ants in a flood, what they do is link their floating bodies together to support each other agianst the currents and keep the queen away from the water. This made me think of marinas and how they are just a floating metropolis of boats and walkways. They are very safe and easily cope with the currents and wind speeds of open water very much like a flood would have. Possibly some flotation device that could be connected together on a large scale would be helpfull. Attach survivors to grow in size and stability.
