Empire of the Ants
Empire Of The Ants
The ant is a very powerful insect as it
can move ten times it's own bodyweight
and has the ability to create huge
underground cities and colonies.
Most ants, have their own special ability
and are ruled by the Queen ant, similar
to bees, they all have ranks and they
also have their own special duties, the
worker ants will excavate and build little
catacombs forming them into little grottos
The ants live and store food in their large
cities of earth connected by a network of
large tunnels created by the workers.
The soldier ants are there to guard the
Queen along with the other ants from
predators, The Queen's protection remains
paramount and the other ants are her
loyal subjects of the large empire she
has built.
In the lower tunnel a large obstruction is
blocking the path of a storage warehouse
being built. a large group of reinforcements
are called in to move the large stone, they
all pull at the blocked section, with their
powerful mandible claws they finally remove
their obstruction.
The Ant, is so much like mankind, as they build
cities and are the only other species that wage
war on each other, and are capable of warring
with other ant colonies, there is a strong
connection between the two species, but all
this does not stop these amazing creatures to
evolve into the future.
Who knows one day these ants may even become
a more powerful force than man himself, no one
can predict the future of the human race as the
ants evolve into higher life forms, it may well end
up becoming the empire of the ants.
