Some kind of pets

Ants are amazing animals. When you cast a glance on interesting facts about them you can realize it. And we can see them almost everywhere. By the way, I was sitting in the park and I was watching them. Here are some photos I took then:


Ants are as old as dinosaurs so they survived many catastrophes... I think this ant has died :(


Ants are very smart insects. They have cities, they invented farming and have good cooperation.


Some ant species are slave-makers! They invade other ant colonies, catch its inhabitants and exploit them to work.


There are some asexual ant species. Queen ants reproduce themselves via cloning, resulting in a colony with no males.

And they can be very fast when you're trying to picture them...
