A Panther's Easy Descent Into Hell
“The native Japanese honey bee, unlike its European cousin, has developed an effective defense against these giant hornet invaders.
“When the bees detect the pheromone left by the first hornet, they attack that hornet in a special way. They form a huge ball of bees that completely engulfs the much larger hornet. [See the photo at the left]
“By vibrating their muscles, the bees raise the temperature inside this ball to close to 47°C, a temperature which the bees can survive, but the hornet can’t. The high temperature inside the bee ball kills the hornet.”
These are like the motherfuckin X-Men of the honey bee world, christ.

Siberian salamanders have compounds in their blood that enable them to survive temperatures of -45°C(-49F). They can stay frozen solid for years before thawing and reviving as good as new. (Wild Russia - NDR)
