"Polyrhachis sokolova is a species of ant recently discovered to be capable of surviving tidal inundations.Researchers at the James Cook University gained attention in 2006 after finding and reporting this behavior. Polyrhachis sokolova nests in mud in mangrove swamps, regularly inundated by rising tides. They survive these inundations in pockets of air that are trapped within the nest."@en . .
