An ant brain has about 250 000 brain cells. A human brain has 10,000 million so a colony of 40,000 ants has collectively the same size brain as a human.

The average ant hill contains 250,000 ants.

So an average hill of ants has as much brain power as about 6 people.

Aren't they the strongest creatures/animals in the world, when you factor in their weight vs what they can carry and do?

Still no match for the sun and a properly angled magnifying glass.

Is it 10MM or 10,000MM? A slight difference there

Take a shovel full of ants/mound and drop it into a different mound. Watch the fight.

If ants are so damn smart, why do they constantly make mounds in my backyard, rather than behind my fence where I would run them over with a mower.
