Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda has shared the video on Twitter with the humorous caption: “Tiny gold smugglers. The question is under which section of IPC they can be booked?”</p>
<p>
Ants are tiny creatures but have been documented to be able to carry up to twenty times their own body weight. If a human could lift twenty times their body weight that would be about 4,000 pounds, which would be similar to carrying a small SUV, according to reputed Ant biologist Fred Larabee and paleoanthropologist John Hawks.</p>
<p>
Ants are capable of lifting very heavy weights, and there are both anatomical and physiological traits that allow them to do this. Collectively, ants can actually carry even larger objects.</p>
<p>
For instance, Azteca ants can kill, disassemble, and eat prey items that are thousands of times their own body weight by working together, according to the two scientists.</p>
