The Nile Monitor uses termite mounds to hatch their eggs. They find a mound intact, dig it open, deposit a bunch of eggs, and then cover the mound with leaf debris. The termites then go about repairing their mound and the eggs are protected from predators. Pretty clever.

If anyone finds an offense against this, it'll be Planned Parenthood.
