Have you ever wondered how ants never get lost, how they always stay on the exact path that they are willing to go to. Well now "The Technical University of Munich and Brazilian Center for Physics Research" has found the answer to this amazing mystery, and it has a lot to do with the fact that they got a GPS system on them! Scientists who studied the behavior and actions of ants have discovered by using a normal microscope that just like us humans ants have a GPS system. The difference between their and our GPS is the fact that our is on a machine while they have magnets build into their antennas, which helps them navigate where to go. While our GPS works thanks to the satellites they get there informations with their magnet antennas from the minerals in the earths magnet field. Researchers believe that when ants walk across soil tiny parts of mineral iron get stuck onto their antennas which somehow make a GPS. Although not all ants have developed this fancy technic, either because their small or because they are a different type of ants. For example desert ants don't use the GPS system but by the movement of the sun they can tell to which way they will go to reach their destination {we give them less credit then they deserve.} Although this discovery is amazing there are a few more things ants can do which will probably blow your mind when i tell you. So first of all i would like to mention that ants have the biggest brain of all the insects out their, or at least the ones that are familiar to us. Ok braes your self because this information im going to share with you will open your eyes and show u that ants to resemble humans a little bit. It was recently discovered that ants communicate through talking, and not just any squeaks like other animals but they actually stroke the ridges of their abdomen to convey messages to each other. Thats all information i have to share with you for this blog post stay tuned to get more amazing information. Ants are unbelievable creatures and we should give a little more credit to them!
HOPE YOU ENJOYED
Nice article and the post title is very catchy. Maybe you could have included a picture, good job anyway!
