We human always talk that we are the only species that can think ,learn ,talk,invent..blaah blah blaa.But if we consider the individual skills or technologies taken one at a time then we might be lagging in ages with so called our compatriot ..the animals

Here are the following recent techniques that animals have mastered a quite long ago.

1:Different techniques to utilize hydrogen as an efficient fuel ::companies are spending billions trying to build a future that runs on hydrogen while termite has that whole mechanism of converting wood pulp into hydrogen and then using it as energy.We're still decades away from an efficient system for producing cheap hydrogen. And while we do have a firm grasp on central air systems (securing the patent in 1851) we came up with it about 250 million years after termites initially unveiled the technology.And still we boasts of technically advanced  species.

2::Cuttlefish's built in flat screen displays::10 years back we were just working on big big monitors,which now are becoming extinct as they are constantly being replaced by LCD's.But do you know   that CUTTLEFISHES have the equivalent of a flat screen television wrapped over every inch of their bodies. Their skin is made up of colored layers, and tiny muscles contract in patterns to let different colors show through and thus display an image.They have these technologies embedded in them from many many centuries.Now what you have to say about this!

3::Pigeons navigation system is far more advanced than us::What if some kidnappers take you 1000 km away from your home by various routes and terrains,are you able to track and get back to home?If you are unsure than its not your fault,but this is not the case with homing pigeons.They can effectively find their homes if same case is repeated with them.It is believed that their navigation system or what we call as GPS is far more advanced than ours.

4::Malaysian ants have suicide bombs::Malaysian ants have glands full of poison, which isn't all that unusual. What is unusual is the way they will, under threat, inflate those glands and then make them explode .Now when you hear this explosion word how many centuries back you can travel to associate  this word with human.But htis tiny creatures are doing this from millions of years.

These are just some of the facts that are sufficient to prove that with overall ability we may have virtually conquered the world.But with the individual ability the truth comes out.And Its fact that these creatures possess far more advanced techniques than us.
