Ants are known to undergo extreme measures to save their own. Past studies have shown the industrious insects carrying wounded comrades back to the nest to heal and even exploding and sacrificing themselves to save their colonies from predators. Now, a team of young researchers in Panama has found an empathetic ant species that rapidly repair any damage to its host tree.

    That's really cool! Ants are impressive animals. I want to know when they figure out why the ants didn't fix all the holes. Maybe it's because some of the holes were easier for the tree to heal on it's own or maybe some of the holes were somehow helpful to them?
