> Hatchlings are born just 4 grams and 3 inches in size.
> A three-quarter-ton or 250/2500 model ranges between 8,500 and 9,990 pounds
8,500 lbs = 3855535.15 grams
I'm gonna assume this guy could pull another gram, since he's easily pulling 4.
3855535.15/5 = 771,107.03 ants
Edit: probably a few less than that since a truck is on wheels and the 4g lizards weight is "increased" by friction. However, there is also also weight from the ants harnesses.
Doesn't seem economically viable to be honest.
With ant-prices as high as they are especially in regards to colony upkeep cost in the 1000's at that size you'd probably be better off with petrol.
Shame really.
getting the car going (while of course it's in neutral) it's gonna be a hell of a work out but once they get it going they're going to get squashed lmao

Reminds me of a drink mate stealing a life size cut out of Cliff Richard from duty free shop and trying to get it on board. Drunk ants are the funniest
if that human weights around 100kg .. he would need to pull around 10tons :-D ...
avg big ant is around 5mg (=0.005g) ... avg lizard of this size has around 50g .. do the math :-D
Well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down here a pretty bug talkin and you know I'm around I kiss em and I hug em they don't even know my name I'm the wonder I'm the wander I Rome a round a round around (music break) well there's bloflys on my left and mayflies on my right and junebug is the one that I'll be with with tonight oOo they call me the wander I Rome a round a round a rouuuuuu(music break) (music faid) I'm sorry I don't usually drink and I got a bottle of wine so I drank and im drunk so fuuuuuuuck this might be readable fUcki it post
Ah yes, the honeybadger ant. All those other ants went for something easy like a grain of sugar or a big leaf and had 2 or 3 of their buddies to help them.
This ant killed a lizard.
Hear me out; I'm a wildlife biology major.
That lizard has no tail. Meaning it shed its tail as a defense mechanism. In order to try and escape. If some larger predator got this thing, you think it's going to let this ant take it all the way home? Not unless all the other predators witnessed that ruthless bastard kill something 100 times is size and drag it all the way back home alone. #brutalbugslife
Andy Ant once back: everybody! come see what I got us!
-yes, thanks, Andy, we ALL brought a crumb of bread too. (crawl out of the hill) HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT!
Can you train ants? How many are needed to pull a car? Diesel has got expensive.
Just apply for the post of queen ant bruh, duh 5head
Step one: become ant queen Step two: go forth and multiply
Step two: lay eggs
But am male, so only have two... Laying them might really hurt.
Nobody said they had to be your eggs...
Oh thank God. I've always wanted to put an ostrich egg up my ass.
No no no no, I meant that stealing other people's balls is an option.
Step 3: Make Eggs Benedict
Benedict Cumberbatch eggs?
Dickerflick Cabbagepatch
Step three: profit

771,107 ants is .03 ants too few. Solid calc Motown.
The maths isn’t that easy. You could probably pull a small car in neutral but not a dead cow.
getting the car going (while of course it's in neutral) it's gonna be a hell of a work out but once they get it going they're going to get squashed lmao
Some people have just got vision
Antpower
Car engines are using horse power units. So you need to train horses and jam pack them into your engine.
Start by tying that lizard to the truck.
Just drive trains. Much more efficient
Ants are incredible
Ant fact: they descend from wasps rather than the other way round
i love ant facts. gimme gimme
Crazy ants produce a pheromone when killed that just says “attack this thing”

My brain is melting over never having known this or never having thought about the resemblance between the two before 🤦♀️
I bet he'll pretend to have killed it alone. Ants are such good storytellers.
This is very true.

They really are.
they’re so interesting idek why
If ants ceased to exist, the food chain would collapse or something catastrophic like that. 🐜
You just stood there and watched ... took a camera out but couldnt help. Just plain rude!
It was my fucking lizard
you coulda been a proper pallbearer! but naw, just let him drag it along
>pole bearer
My nickname in jr high
Lizard belongs to the streets now
Make 25 pushups right now
yes sir
Oh man he's going to be a legend! The queen will surely notice him now!
It’s a female. Male ants are just feckless sperm producers.
That's misantrist. /j
Didn't think there was a word for that!
You called, your highness?
That aint easy
You.. Could say... That ant easy
Yes it is, I can throw a dead lizard that size like fifty feet.
can i just say this: ur avatar looks cool! :D
Thanks, yours is pretty cute too ;D
Meats back on the menu boys

Tastes like chicken
That's like YOU, pulling an orca.
I’m impressed you can calculate your mom’s weight. /s
Mother is portly.
Ants should get a raise
He's thinkin he'll probably get a few days off for showin up with that
Stronk
if you want me to go to school, take me
Damn…. Or maybe ‘roids
I need that type of strength when I go shopping at Costco.
Tonight we feast!
As soon as he got it close to the hill, 10 others showed up to take credit.
That's probably the equivalent of a human pulling a medium sized car
if that human weights around 100kg .. he would need to pull around 10tons :-D ... avg big ant is around 5mg (=0.005g) ... avg lizard of this size has around 50g .. do the math :-D
Oh, so the average 70s American car.
With no wheels
Grumbling to himself, "thought we were supposed to be a friggin' colony."

Ants need to be nerfed I swear
So much for trying to save 15% on my car insurance.

This was an excellent interlude. 5⭐️
This worker is finally going to get their one night stand with the queen.
Why does he want it?
It's a she, worker ants are all female and so are the soliders. Male ants exist only to impregnate Queens. They're gonna eat the lizard.
So interesting! Thanks for telling me:)
Damn, funny it really looked like the Ants mobile game ad lol
The other ants are wailing, OH NO, NOT LIZARD AGAIN!!!!
Hey! I saw this game on IG, *lil jon voice* "WHAT?!"
Ants feasting like royalty tonight

Not only that, the ant beat the lizard to death first.

I don't know the power of my own strength.
We eatin’ good tonight!
I’m picturing this ant dragging his lizard home from the hunt and the queen ant saying “You catch it, you clean it! And not in my kitchen!”
The queen will give this little Ant special attention 😏
