Ants may be tiny, but they are incredibly strong. An ant can lift something that is about fifty times heavier than its own body. Just imagine a person lifting a car above their head — that is how strong an ant is!

Ants are also great team workers. When one ant is too weak to move something big, many ants work together and carry it as a group. And no matter how far they travel from home, ants can always find their way back by following a smell. Such a small insect, yet such an amazing power!
