I've always thought it was so interesting how bugs can just lose legs and act like it's only mildly annoying at the very worst.

Imagine your buddy just randomly chewing off your leg at the thigh for an hour. With no pain killers.
And you just sitting there like it’s the normal. Ants are just different.

They only live a few months to 2 years at most, but they care so much about each other they still try to save each other.

I really appreciate a short form science education video that wasn't written by AI and actually shows scholarly articles, plus humor! Immediately endeared me, I love this.

Word of advice, do not go to a Carpenter Ant Doctor if you're suffering from erectile dysfunction.

Fun Fact: Megaponera analis, the Matabele Ants, are known for consistently providing life-saving healthcare in the form of highly-antibacterial saliva that is applied onto injured ants that aren’t beyond saving (after being med-evacuated back to the colony from the site of combat). Ants that are beyond saving will even thrash about, resisting help, since even if they survive, they won’t be a very big help to the colony.

I've observed this behaviour in the wild many years ago. I'm glad somebody did a study because it wasn't my domain.

another things that shows how ants are like humans, if you don’t know the rest, let me catch you up on them: they have a monarchy, they are invasive, they want to conquer other ants but some ants species (like army ants) ignore other army ants just like humans, they have livestock (like aphids and melee bugs), they slave other ants and finally, they are doctors like what what we’ve learnt today.

Fun fact: some ants also bury their dead in order to keep the colony clean of infection, they know a lot more than some of us think

We give other animals a lot less credit than what they deserve.

Its amazing how developed some ant species colony are, like leaf cutter ant farming fungus for food by feeding it leaf which is literally agricultural practice and then this,You gonna wonder how they figure stuff like this out.

Ants have achieved a form of civilization, and stuff like this just proves it more, to me.

Sounds like a Florida solution 😂
Other ants are like: “here’s this medical goop”
Florida ants like: 🔪 🗡

Tarantulas do this too in some cases, but they have to do it alone 😢 I saw a tarantula removed its own leg and was holding it, and it freaked me out so I looked it up, and apparently if something like a cricket or other prey bites their leg while they're hunting and there's a risk of infection, they will pull the whole leg off 😭 they grow back over time as the tarantula molts its exoskeleton, but it's kind of sad to think about. Something bites your hand and you have to sit alone in your house and yank your arm off with no assistance or tools, and then wait months to years for it to grow back. And it happens more in captivity because they're kind of trapped with their prey and can be bitten easie

Those ants have the Civil War medical procedures going.

Pretty cool to think ant colonies actually have medical staff or ants that basically serve that role within said colony!
