driver ants
fact fileDriver ants may be small but, they pack a powerful bite for their small size and spend a lot of time patrolling the forest floor in large groups looking for any animal they come across. These ants may have the largest hunting groups in the world, because driver ants have been known to hunt in groups as big as 1 million. They probe the forest floor for any life and when they find prey they viscously attack with their large powerful pincers and bite as hard as they can. They also do this in large numbers and look for weak spots to bite. The ants also have super strength and can lift up to all most 50 times their own weight. Driver ants are like generals in an army and are a higher rank than every other ant and force worker ants to carry prey, make ant rafts for them out themselves and make bridges and ladders. These ants are incredibly smart and attack in formations like an army and even walk around in a certain way. There has only rarely been human fatalities, but they can easily over power a human if they get on you and can easily suffocate a person.
