Description
Here in the forests of Australia, we see a banded sugar ant that is looking for nest material. Meanwhile, this red bull ant is looking for prey. Unlike many other ant species, red bull ants are solitary hunters. When it spots a sugar ant, the red bull ant leaps several times its own body weight. And then, it pounces on the sugar ant and injects its paralyzing sting in an instant. The red bull ant's massive spiked jaws open wide and swing closed like a pair of scissors. One bite can kill smaller victims, or jaws clamp down in an iron grip on larger prey.
