Ants can lift objects up to 50 times their own weight, which is equivalent to a human lifting a car.
Ants work together in colonies, sharing information and making collective decisions. This collective intelligence allows them to build complex structures and solve problems.
Ants have been around for millions of years and have adapted to a wide range of environments. Fossil evidence suggests that ants existed as far back as 100 million years ago.
Ants use a variety of methods to communicate with each other, including pheromones, touch, and sound. Pheromones are chemical signals that can attract other ants, warn of danger, or mark trails to food sources.
Ants in a colony have different roles, such as queen, worker, soldier, and drone. Each role is essential for the survival of the colony.
Many ants produce formic acid, a natural defense mechanism that can be used to deter predators or attack prey.
Some ants cultivate fungi in underground gardens, providing a food source for the colony. These ants are considered to be the world's oldest farmers.
