Wondering what it is? It’s an ant island!!
Hurricane Joaquin made its impact felt at South Carolina, USA. Most of the coastal regions across the state has been flooding for the past few days.
The flood has not only impacted people but it has also destroyed the houses of these ants.
Fire ants have the ability to form life rafts out of their own bodies. Colonies of ants link together and create a weave that allows the masses to float on the water.
When they do this, they have their queen protected in that big mound in the middle. All those white bits on top are egg-sacks, held aloft and away from any fish who might want to nibble at them, to make sure they're safe until they reach dry land.
As per National Geographic when waters start to rise, the ants gather their eggs and start weaving living life rafts. The fine layer of hairs on the ants’ bodies even traps a layer of air to prevent the ants on the lowest level of the raft from being completely submerged.
The ants can remain in this formation for weeks, if necessary.
We can move mountains when we’re united! How very true!
