Matabele ant
The Matabele ant is one of the largest ants in the world, and it hunts termites in raiding columns. It lives across much of sub-Saharan Africa. It is known for its teamwork, including rescuing and caring for injured nestmates.1

Sida loo aqoonsado
- Worker ants are 5 to 18 millimetres long, and some individuals reach up to 25 millimetres.1
- Larger workers make up to half of the colony.1
- Minor workers have less hair and smoother jaws (mandibles) than major workers.1
- They move in a column-like line when raiding termite sites.1
- Their glands release chemicals that smell like human faeces.1

Khatarta dadka: Xanuun badanAad buu u xanuunjin karaa, laakiin ku dhowaad weligiis khatar weyn ma aha.Muxuu sameeyaa marka uu baqo?
When attacked by driver ants outside the nest, they check each other's legs and antennae and remove any enemy ants clinging to them.1
Haddii uu mudo
- Dhaq oo qabooji meelaha la muday.
- Haddii qofku neefsashada ku dhibtoonayo, wejiga ama cunaha ay bararaan, ama uu dareemayo inuu suuxayo, waa xaalad xasaasiyadeed oo degdeg ah: wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah.
Marka hore had iyo jeer wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911). Kani waa hage guud oo gargaar degdeg ah, ma aha talo caafimaad. Aasaaska gargaarka degdegga ah
Badbaado
- Weligaa ha taaban, ha qaban, hana ku ciyaarin xayawaan duurjoog ah, xitaa mid yar, xitaa haddii uu u muuqdo inuu hurdo ama dhintay.
- Meel u bannee. Haddii aad mid la kulanto, deg, tartiib dib ugu noqo oo u daa inuu jidkiisa maro.
- Haddii mid ku mudo: deg, ha dhaqaaqin, wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911) ama si degdeg ah u tag isbitaalka. Xusuuso sida uu u egyahay, sawir ayaa caawiya.
Kuma raadinayo. Suntiisa wuxuu u isticmaalaa inuu cunto ku qabsado ama isku difaaco, wuxuuna aad u door bidaa inuu dhuunto. Wax badan oo ku saabsan badbaadada

Xaqiiqooyin
They are the first recorded non-human species to treat the wounds of other individuals consistently, by licking them for several minutes.1
Injured ants send out a chemical call for help, and nestmates carry them back to the nest. This reduces the mortality rate of injured ants from 32% to close to zero.1
Injured ants that have lost one or two legs adapt to walking on four or five legs and can reach running speeds similar to healthy ants.1
Some individuals reach up to 25 millimetres, which makes this one of the world's largest ants.1
Frogs of the species Phrynomantis microps are sometimes found in their nests, and these frogs produce a skin secretion that calms the ants' aggression.1
Scout ants lead raids from the front and lay pheromone trails, so the other ants can find their way back to the nest.1
