Ants can:

  • create nests
  • reproduce
  • form a cohesive working, social society
  • give off chemicals for other ants to follow the chemical path
  • move up to 7mph
  • use their teeth to dissect or break apart food sources for easier carrying
  • lift up 10 to 50 times its own weight
  • transport (the things they lift) over long distances
  • use each other to form "bridges" over trenches
  • pass items they are carrying to the next ant like in a "bucket brigade"
  • clean up debris from the environment (ex. leaves, dead insect carcasses)
  • helps to contribute to fertilizing the soil
