It is the fastest of the world’s 12,000 known ant species, clocking a velocity of 855 millimetres per second (over 1.9 miles per hour or 3.1 kilometres per hour). It can travel a length 108 times its own body length per second, a feat topped only by two other creatures, the Australian tiger beetle Rivacindela hudsoni and the California ...
Trap-jaw ants of this genus have the second-fastest moving predatory appendages within the animal kingdom, [2] after the dracula ant (Mystrium camillae). [8] One study of Odontomachus bauri recorded peak speeds between 126 and 230 km/h (78 and 143 mph), with the jaws closing within just 130 microseconds on average.
A large amount of effort is expended on repairing water damage after each high tide. [3] The ants are able to move across large stretches of water by either running on the surface tension skin or swimming with their legs below the surface. While swimming it has been documented that these ants are eaten by fish, mud skippers, and crabs. [2]
T 25 is 298.15 K (= 25 °C = 77 °F), giving a value of 346.1 m/s (= 1 135.6 ft/s = 1246 km/h = 774.3 mph = 672.8 kn). In fact, assuming an ideal gas , the speed of sound c depends on temperature and composition only, not on the pressure or density (since these change in lockstep for a given temperature and cancel out).
To say that ants outnumber people on Earth would be a gross understatement. Earth's ant population of 20 quadrillion outnumbers humans by 2.5 million times, study finds Skip to main content
Foraging ants travel distances of up to 200 metres (700 ft) from their nest [129] and scent trails allow them to find their way back even in the dark. In hot and arid regions, day-foraging ants face death by desiccation , so the ability to find the shortest route back to the nest reduces that risk.
Odontomachus bauri is a species of ponerinae ant known as trap jaw ants. The trap jaw consists of mandibles which contain a spring-loaded catch mechanism. [1]This mechanism permits the ants to accumulate energy before striking or releasing the mandibles rapidly.
