Ants have Great Adeptness
Now science has found out that the intelligence of ants is very close to human intelligence. Ants work unitedly with team spirit and with great ! adeptness. A scientist observed their following behaviour A number of ants were down in a pit. They had killed some flies and other insects there.
The bits of these insects were to be fetched to their s anthill. The sides of the pit were steep and the loads were heavy. Immediately they organised the work. While some were carrying up the bits of insects, the others went in front clearing away the obstructions in the way. At some points, where it
was difficult to get a foothold, these other ants positioned themselves in such a way that the load-bearing ants could easily climb over them. Near the top of the pit, there was a small part of the way which was completely smooth and steep. Only one ant could reach the top.
She called many other ants from the anthill and made an ant-chain. The ants at the top began climbing down into the pit backward, each holding the tail end of another ant in front. When the ant-chain reached the ants waiting with their loads, the load-bearing ants easily climbed up the chain and came out at the top.
