-- Grab EHS RSS FeedDid you know that an ant's abdomen contains two stomachs?! One stomach holds food for itself while the other one contains food to be shared with other ants.
Here's a few more cool ant facts:
- Ants have 250,000 brain cells while humans have 10,000 million.
- Combined weights of ants on earth is more than the combined weight of humans.
- Ants began farming about 50 million years before humans thought to raise their own crops.
- Ants rarely fight but when they do fight it is a fight to death most of the time.
- Ants often sleep seven hours a day, while a type of ant i.e. fire ant takes about 250 naps each day.
- The legs of the ant are very strong so they can run very quickly. If a man could run as fast for his size as an ant can, he could run as fast as a racehorse.
