How deep do ants burrow'?

Answer 1

Depending on the size and species of ant, the largest ant holes have been measured at 357 feet. Sometimes the hole is very sensitive to the depth. Many cave divers have tried to dive the deepest ant hole, located in Malaysia. They have never returned; scientists have recently discovered a vacuum-like effect caused by the motion of these ants, which can grow to be 20 feet long, and the atmospheric pressure created by the conular shape of this ant hole. The divers were most likely eaten alive.
