I love the video, great work as always. But I have to disagree on one thing - there are plenty of other productive conga lines in the animal kingdom! -Processionary caterpillars travel single file from feeding source to nest -Mother shrews lead their babies to safety in a conga line -Sea hares form mating chains to reproduce safely and efficiently -Hermit crabs line up to swap out shells in order of decreasing size In such a vast and chaotic world, little moments of order in nature are a sight to behold. There are so many aspects of animal behavior to appreciate!
