Heroic Ants are Heroic
Being a big fan of Animal Planet and National Geographic, I have subscriptions to several blogs that feature amazing animal stories. From the kick-ass Japanese bees (which put European bees to shame), to the horror of meeting a black mamba, to dog rescue tales; I have always found these kind of stuff interesting.
Now here comes the ants. I don’t really think highly of these little insects and I don’t know anyone who does. They can be very pesky and annoying. I remember a time when they were attacking my food so aggressively that they have flocked into it while I was still eating. Yep, very annoying indeed.
But unknown to a lot of us, ants can be real heroes in their community. When a certain ants get sick, they abandon their home and walk far way from their ant relatives to die alone. It is a valiant act of heroism to prevent the illness that is threatening their lives to spread to the entire ant colony. It is a valiant act of heroism that is almost alien to humans. I know quite a few people who are pretty scared of loneliness and of dying alone, and that includes myself. hehehe
