Ant is king. Yes, king over lion, tiger, elephant and all the other forest mighties. “How so?” you ask. Ants have impeccable people (animal) skills, they are social animals and will take social risks. Ants can walk into a room and get on with anyone.
Ants have no ‘ears’, so they can get on with the job without hearing all the noise, the gossip, the negativity, the backbiting, the ‘you can’t do it’ talk. “What about the positive talk and how do they communicate?” you ask. Ants ‘hear’ by feeling vibrations. Ants can tell if you are good or bad. Ants can feel the energy of other animals. Talk is cheap. Ants do not need to hear the words. Ants operate above the noise.
“But ants are weak, fragile and tiny,” you maintain. What you don’t know is that ants are strong, very strong indeed. They can carry 50 times their weight! Pause. Allow that to sink in. What other animal can carry up to 50 times its weight? How many humans can carry 50 times their weight?
Ants are fighters! They are as bold as they come. When an ant fights, it is usually till death. A solider that is not afraid of death. Ants are smart and very clever. They can outplay, outwit and outlast humans, not to talk about animals. Ants lived alongside dinosaurs and are still around. They evolved some 150 million years ago.
The characteristics of ants are too numerous to mention, but suffice to say, ant is king and deserves to be king. The king, however, is the queen! Once the queen dies, the colony collapses after a few months. All the male ant does is mate with the queen and it dies not too long after. The queen is the king!
