Crazy ways living things survive floods

So with the flooding occurring in South Carolina, a phenomenon can be seen that is pretty interesting. In order to survive, colonies of ants will form a raft of each other's bodies to float above the water with the queen on top. The ants can survive for weeks but are constantly struggling to survive against turbulent water and predators.
