This Massive Ant Bridge Will Blow Your Mind

Ants are everywhere. They're so common that we often don't think twice about them unless they're pillaging our picnic basket, of course. Though ants seem ordinary, they're extraordinary. A field ant's neck joint can withstand up to 5,000 times its weight. That's kind of like an adult human holding a Boeing 747. So what makes ants so strong? How are they able to build bridges? And how do they communicate to make it happen?

Ants are one of the ultimate survival creatures

So ants are basically superheroes 🐜🐜🐜

Why didn't they walk across the sealing?

[@ipfreely9245]

It's unbelievable how much soil/sand they'll move, especially under paving slabs etc causing damage. Other than that I've got the upmost respect for the Ant, especially the Queen in some species they'll live for 30years! 🤯
