| Ants rescue injured comrades from termite battles |
When the ants hunt termites a risky pray the colony sticks together marching into battle in columns and making sure even injured amps make it back large ants called majors break up the soil around termite nest during a raid.
Well smaller minor ants slip through the cracks to extract their meal. Soldier termites fight back ants lose limbs an antenna in the scuffle. After the fight the else lined up to go home carrying termite carcasses along for a post battle feast.
When predators like spiders see injured and struggling home they know they're in for an easy snack so major stick around after the fight tracking the scent of a fair amount that signals injury when an injured and has found the major grabs the fallen soldier in its mandibles in Kerry's at home to recover safely in the nass.
See what became of those injured ants researchers created laboratory nests and hunting grounds and mark the injured with page 95 percent of those hurt him marched alongside their brethren on future rate.
The number of ants rescued each day is about the same as daily at birth meeting rescues help the colony stay strong and prepared to fight another day.
