A wombat scoops and sweeps with powerful paws to dig an underground maze. A titmouse winds and weaves grasses to build a sturdy padded nest...with a drawbridge. Animal Architects shows creatures that tunnel, bore wood, weave, and mould clay; animals that adjust for temperature and comfort, make bolt holes for times of danger, store food for their offspring. It celebrates the engineers and architects of the animal world.
