Ants Can Lift 50 Times Their Own Weight
Due to their small size and powerful muscles relative to their body mass, ants can lift objects up to 50 times their own weight.
About this fact
Ants are incredibly strong for their size. Their muscles are thicker relative to their body mass compared to larger animals. This allows them to generate significant force. If a human had the same relative strength, they could lift a small car. This strength is crucial for ants as they forage for food, build complex nests, and defend their colonies.
