Brazilian Big Headed ants produce the most effective chemical trails of any ant. When a forager returns to the nest, dozens of nest mates respond in seconds and swarm the food that has been brought back! Artful Dodger a cat owned by a family in Bridport, Dorset, England, travels unsupervised to nearby towns and back by writing on the local bus service! Tigers are solitary hunters, but are only successful in about 1 in 20 of their hunting attempts!

Oh yes, British buses. They turn up if they like, when they like and charge you the earth to travel a few miles. We have a bus service here with buses that are so old, tatty and completely past it, my friend says they’re run by the BBC, the Bedrock Bus Company and run by a Mr F.Flintstone.

I have heard of cats and dog both doing this. In the US this would never be allowed. To be as advanced as we say we are sometimes we are behind. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2372125/Wild-dogs-that-commute-from-suburbs-to-scavenge-in-city.html
