AntFacts *If a man could run as fast his size as an ant can, he could run as fast as a racehorse. (would make Fast & furious then) *Ants can lift more than 20 times their own body weight. *The combined weight of all ants is greater than the combined weight of all humans. (strenght of love; united) *Ants are the most numerous type of animal. An ant brain has about 250 000 brain cells. *A human brain has 10,000 million so a colony of 40,000 ants has collectively the same size brain as a human. (but cant beat the same intelligence of man) *Ant brains are largest amongst insects. An ants brain may have the same processing power as a Macintosh II computer. Thousands of years ago, King Solomon wrote: Go to the ant, consider its ways and be wise. (Wisdom in Ant colony) *The average life expectancy of an ant is 45-60 days. *There are over 10000 known species of ants. *Some worker ants are given the job of taking the rubbish from the nest and putting it outside in a special rubbish dump..haha..lol. (Division of labour) *Some birds put ants in their feathers because the ants squirt formic acid which gets rid of the parasites. (Symbiotic relationship?) *If a worker ant has found a good source for food, it leaves a trail of scent so that the other ants in the colony can find the food. (more of a food detector) Arent there wonders in Animal kingdom?
