Some ants can lift as much as twenty times their own weight. However, some species can lift even more than that. The heaviest known species is the Giant Forest Ant. This ant weighs 0.372 grams each.

In a tug of war, people would have no chance against ants. They have a lot of muscle mass and can lift items with high acceleration. Among the ants, there are some that are capable of lifting up to three hundred grams.

Ants are very interesting insects. They have very large heads and strong jaws. They can carry heavy loads and are loyal to their queen. They also communicate with each other by using sounds and touch. They are also capable of communicating with each other using pheromones.

Some scientists claim that the total weight of all ants on the planet is equal to the total weight of all humans. This claim was made by German biologist Bert Hoelldobler. However, this figure is not confirmed. The ant population is estimated to be as high as 100 trillion.
