carpenter ants, their name says it, they are used to handling tools

Hey kids, it's okay to cut your tits and dicks off. See! Even the ants cut off the parts that they want to!

Okay but can these ants perform cross species surgery on humans? Then i'd find it much more interesting. Ant anatomy isnt as complex as human anatomy. Also, dont crabs amputate their own claws? I would call that a life saving operation.

Lizards self amputate their tails.

What a load of crock this narrative is trying to push.

Are they also army ants that have enough sense to kill the fucking enemy.

"After studying micro-CT scans of the ants, the researchers speculated that the damage to blood-pumping muscles in the femur causes blood circulation to slow. This would mean that bacteria-laden blood would take longer to enter the body, allowing the ants enough time to amputate the limb.

Ant tibias, meanwhile, have relatively little muscle tissue, so infections can spread faster. This means amputation would take too long for the ants to stop the spread of harmful bacteria, so they instead focus on cleaning the wound.

"The ants are able to diagnose a wound, see if it's infected or sterile, and treat it accordingly over long periods of time by other individuals — the only medical system that can rival that would be the human one," Frank said."


Ct micro scans?

Ant legs have muscle tissue?

They can diagnose wounds?


Wow

Ant legs have muscle tissue?
This surprises you? How else would ants be able to walk?

Fucking idiots....ants are insects, not animals, ants will also haul a dead ant back to the colony, so what....something is in the works when you read an article like this, ant traps banned, protection of ant habitat, ant administrations, think tanks, awareness groups, fetish groups, therapy sessions etc etc etc...AND, I GUARANTEE THAT "CHOCOLATE COVERED ANTS" WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE.

I think they were referring to the “animal kingdom”

Going to go 3D print some ant prosthetics and leave them by the hill.

This story makes me wonder if it's one of those fake stories that somebody is trying to get published in a journal to show how stupid. Review is
