Fever is a hilarious immune response. Our bodies tell the disease “hey, wanna see which one of us dies of overheating first? No? Too bad.” and honestly they’re not even the winners a decent chunk of the time but it works often enough that we never evolved it away or anything. Fantastic work.

The Asian honeybee deals with hornets entering their hive by dogpiling the intruder and rubbing against each other, producing heat through friction. Hornets have like two degrees Celsius less heat tolerance than bees, so the bees survive and the hornet dies.
They also do that because the Germans voted for it
