Ants are truly fascinating creatures. The industrious insects can lift up to 50 times their own body weight, morph into rafts to protect themselves from floods, predict earthquakes, and even repair their damaged homes. Now, researchers have found that the amazing insects may even be able to help detect cancer in humans.

            That's crazy! I know dogs can also detect cancer. This ant thing reminds me about bees, who can be trained to detect land mines!

                      If My grandparents had cancer those ants would help them because they had so many of them. 😁
