A Giant Ball Of Living Ants? 😨

Details

Description

The ball you're looking at isn't made of squishy material; it's actually a giant mass of living ants. These are red fire ants, and they’re actually one of the most invasive species in the ant world. When threatened, these ants grab onto each other's arms, forming a mesh of interconnected bodies into a ball-shaped structure that helps them survive tough conditions. If you put this ball of ants underwater, they’ll quickly form a floating raft out of their own bodies, which can stay afloat for weeks, especially during floods.
