Don't mess with the army ants

Christian S.

The Banded Ground-Cuckoo and other ant birds know how to prevent the attacks of the army ants. But everyone else who isn't fast enough gets quickly cut into pieces during the daily raids. Especially the soldiers have very impressive mandibles you don't want to feel in your skin. In the afternoon the ants march back and transport the prey into the Bivouac in long columns.
