ABOUT ANTS.........
- there are more than 12.000 species of ants all over the world
- an ant can lift 20 times its own body weight. if a second grader was as strong as ant, she would be able to pick up a car
- some queen ants can live for many years and have million of babies
- ants don't have ears. ants "hear" by feeling vibration in the ground through their feet
- when ants fight, it is usually to the death
- when foraging, ants leave apheromone trail so that they know where they've been
- queen ants have wings. which they shed when they start a new nest
- ants don't have lungs. oxygen enters through tiny holes all over the body and carbondioxide leaves through the same holes
- when the queen of the colony dies, the colony can only survive a few months. queens are rarely replaced and the workers are not able to reproduce.
