Hiddent Life of Ants; Underground

Ants were around this planet for a while, as long as we can remember. But what we don’t know is something that we cannot see; that is what happens to them at night. We know that ants are hard workers and that some can carry up 50 times more weight than itself. So, where do they really carry all this weight?

I am sure some of you know that they do in fact have a some sort of cave, or an underground city that they live in. And that they work for their Queen to reproduce and survive but this time Smithsonian National Museum of National History shows us their crib. Here is one of the large colonies of ant’s city captured using liquid metal.
