It a common misconception that ants are the sole suckers in life; this is blatantly false, although many people still live within the comfortable realm of that delusion (for reference, see Happy Days). In truth, ants appear highly successful in comparison to the utter futility of human existence. However, unlike humans, ants are much too busy living to wonder why they suck at said task.
If you were an ant what object would be as big to you as the sun is to a human?
If 'as big' means 'as big as seen' then the answer would probably be the sun-after all we don't see it the right size because of its distance, and neither would ants. So an ant could see the sun the size of a grapefruit, but of course to the ant a grapefruit is larger. Of course this argument is flawed because ants have no eyes. However if you mean compare the actual size of humans and the sun and the actual size of ants and the Sun. The Sun is 1 million km wide. We are approximately 1 1/2 metres. If you say an ant is 1 1/2 cm high you still want something 10,000,000 km wide to compare it with-slightly less than the size of the Earth.

Anteaters usually only have up to 2 babies max a year this is because anteaters are pregnant for 6 months and they normally only have 1 baby at a time.
