Neighbouring colonies have separate foraging areas. When ants from different colonies meet at the border, they face off, lock their jaws and push and kick each other.1

2

Border fights can last up to half an hour, and both ants are usually left uninjured.1

3

It is one of the largest ant species in the world.1

4

One colony can use more than one nest at a time. Some nest entrances were found 40 to 250 cm apart.1

5

Its nests are about 40 cm deep, with chambers roughly 3 cm high and 20 cm wide.1
