Ants can carry mass like 5 times of themselves, I am wondering if there are like a swarm of ants, can they actually carry a human child away?
Ants are surprisingly strong for their size. On average, they can carry up to 50 times their own body weight. This means that even a small group of ants could potentially lift and carry an object much larger and heavier than themselves.
No, it is not possible for ants to carry a human infant away. Despite their strength, ants are still relatively small creatures and would not be able to carry an infant that is significantly larger and heavier than themselves. Additionally, ants tend to work together in large groups to carry objects, so it is unlikely that they would be able to coordinate and lift an infant on their own.
It is impossible to determine an exact number, as it would depend on the size and weight of the infant. However, it would likely take an extremely large number of ants to even attempt to lift and carry an infant. In most cases, it would be physically impossible for ants to carry an infant away.
No, there are no known species of ants that could carry a human infant away. Even the largest and strongest species of ants would not be able to lift an infant. Ants are primarily scavengers and do not typically prey on larger animals.
This question is often asked as a hypothetical scenario or as a way to demonstrate the strength and capabilities of ants. However, it is important to remember that ants and humans have very different physical abilities and it is highly unlikely that ants would ever attempt to carry an infant away.
