If you're the coolest predator in the animal kingdom, the marching ants are sure to make the list.
As a predator, ants have no less impact on the ecological environment than large predators such as lions and tigers.
Among them, the marching ants are the most numerous.
Marching ants live mainly in equatorial areas on all continents, with more than 200 species. They are like indestructible armies, destroying all prey they encounter on their march.
Marching ants do not have their own permanent nests, they are like human nomadic people, living by water and grass, and setting up their own camps at any time when they are nomadic, each camp can stay for no more than 20 days.
The number of each marching ant colony varied greatly, some with only 200,000 members, some as old as 20 million, and they marched in teams 10 to 100 meters wide in the forest, like a red river.
They are disciplined and act in unison, opening roads in every mountain and building bridges in the face of water. Ability to cross hills, caves and even rivers.
When the scouts find their prey, a large number of marching ants will hear the news and surround the prey.
They are good at annihilating prey that is much larger than themselves on the road, and sometimes even behemoths such as snakes, lizards, and frogs cannot escape the killing of marching ants.
As for the other ants, arthropods, spiders, and locusts are even more so. For these beings, the arrival of the marching ants is like the expedition of the Mongol army, and everywhere it goes, it is in vain. So someone gave the marching ant a nickname--- the Mongolian nomadic army in nature.
The main reason why marching ants are so strong is their sharp equipment. Compared with ordinary ants, marching ants have a larger and more powerful jaw, which is almost 5 times higher than that of ordinary ants, so the average ant is far from being a rival to marching ants.
And those animals that are tens or hundreds of times the size of marching ants are difficult to resist under the attack of marching ant swarms.
What's even more frightening is that the marching ants will also inject a sleepy enzyme into the prey during the attack, so they will be trapped by this enzyme when they fight the prey, and then be eaten in their sleep!
