The giant Amazonian ant is one of the largest ant species in the world. It lives underground in the lowland rainforests of South America, where its nests can have several entrances. Its size makes it easy to spot among other ants.1

Sihlala

South America: Guyana, Brazil (Amazonas, Pará, Mato Grosso, Ceará, Maranhão and others) and Loreto, Peru. Probably also nearby areas such as French Guiana.1

Ekhaya

It lives in lowland rainforest, especially in forests that do not flood. Its colonies build underground nests with up to eight entrances. Unlike many ants, it does not build a mound above the nest.1

Ubude

3 cm ukuya ku-4 cm (1,2 in ukuya ku-1,6 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-0,47 km/h (0,29 mph)

Sitya ntoni?

It eats both plant and animal food. Foragers bring back fruits of vismia plants, inga seeds, and small animals such as spiders, crickets and snails. About 10% of foraging trips succeed, and successful trips usually last 30 to 60 minutes.1

Indlela yokusiqaphela

Females are coal-black and measure 3 to 4 cm long.1
Males are much smaller and dark red.1
Nest entrances are surrounded by the soil dug out of the nest, but no mound is formed.1
Individual ants forage alone, usually within about 10 metres of the nest.1

Ukuba siyahlaba

Hlamba uze upholise iindawo ezihlatyiweyo.
Ukuba umntu uphefumla kanzima, ubuso okanye umqala wakhe uyadumba, okanye uziva ngathi uza kufa isiqaqa, yimeko kaxakeka ye-aleji: tsalela inombolo kaxakeka.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba siyakuhlaba: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

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

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

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

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

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