ant
Small but strong
What’s crawling there? Small and black, with lots of legs. An ant! Tiny, but oh so strong. Sometimes, it carries a crumb, a leaf, or a stick. Where is the ant going? To its family. Ants live together in huge colonies, with thousands of them in one big nest. And everyone has a job.
Did you know that…
-
Ants live in a colony. That’s a large group of ants working together as a real team.
-
One ant can carry something ten times heavier than itself. That’s like you carrying an elephant on your back!
-
Every ant has a different job: searching, carrying, building, or taking care of the queen.
Which job do you think would be the most fun?
how can you help ants?
Ants are busy at work. They’re carrying, searching, and running back and forth. Walk carefully around them and don’t damage their nest. Who knows, you might see them carrying something heavy. Well done, little ant!
