Even we die carrying a few kilos of bags, these animals travel all that way. hundreds of times the weight on their backs They go with food.

Don’t worry, they actually Their power is much greater than we think!

There is no one who has not seen an ant carrying a very large piece of food.

The main reason why they bear, or rather can bear, these burdens is ants are ‘light’ creatures Did you know they are?

“But no matter how light they are, how can they carry huge things?” You’re right when you think. However Ants use their muscle power to carry loads.

For example, this is not the case with us humans.

Because our body weight is high, muscles It must support the skeletal system of our body. That’s why we can’t carry tons of weight. But as you can see, ants are exempt from this situation.

Ohio University, researched the subject. They placed the ants on a disk under a microscope to measure their joint strength. The result was incredible; it was observed that ants could withstand a force of 3500-5000 times their own weight.

They also carry loads with their mouths, not their feet.

The weight of the object they are carrying is transferred to the feet by the neck joints. When examined under a microscope How durable are your neck joints? That turned out to be the case.

This situation is similar to others The same goes for insects.
