Ants

Ants Look around you.See the natural world-birds that fly,animals that walk,and insects that crawl on the ground. It's all very interesting.Stop,look,and listen.If you open your eyes to nature,you will learn a lot. Look at an ant hill,for example.At first,it looks like just another pile of sand on the ground.But look closer.What do you see? Ants are amazing insects.They work hard and do not rest.That's right:ants never sleep.Now that is amazing! They are small too.But they have big brains.Each ant has about 250,000 brain cells.That's a lot for such a small creature.

Ants are really strong too.How strong?Think about this:an ant can lift something that is 50 times its weight. And,it does this with its mouth.Ants pick up and carry really heavy things with their mouths.Wow! Oh,and there's one more thing.There are lots of ants.How many?For every human,there are more than a million ants. So,stop,look,and listen.Nature is amazing.
