Florida carpenter ants perform life-saving "surgeries" on injured nestmates (Credit: Danny Buffat/ CC-BY-SA-2.0)

Ants are known for their teamwork. The tiny insects work together to build homes, find food, and care for their young. Now, a new study has found that Florida carpenter ants even perform life-saving "surgeries" to save their nestmates. This remarkable social behavior has never been observed in a non-human species before.

      Also there are quadrillions of ants (several million per person, there's an estimated 8 billion people) so don't feel bad. this is like taking away one grain of sand from a beach. there's no effect.

        POV: You: "Yeah doc, I just have a small scratch in my leg." Doc: "Yeah, we have to amputate that." (Starts biting off your leg)

                  Poor ants. Did the scientists HAVE to hurt them? Besides, I feel bad for the ants.😔

                    It may be easy to find injured ants in the Room. But out there, it's gonna take a long time and the injured ant might have died already

                      it would be hard to find a hurt ant. plus, its just 100 ants there are so many more of them.
