Faktlar

1

They are the first recorded non-human species to treat the wounds of other individuals consistently, by licking them for several minutes.1

2

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

3

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

4

Some individuals reach up to 25 millimetres, which makes this one of the world's largest ants.1

5

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

6

Scout ants lead raids from the front and lay pheromone trails, so the other ants can find their way back to the nest.1
