How many ants would it take to lift an elephant?? 😁😂

A maths quiz. Sorry the inner nerd is coming out.

Okay, so ants can typically carry about 10-50 times their own weight.

So let’s average that out to 25. So if an ant weighs 5mg, that’s 125mg per ant that it can carry.

An elephant weighs 4000kg on average. So that’s 4000000000mg.

4000000000mg / 125mg = 32 Millions ants.

They better have teamwork

I lost an entire cinnamon bun to a brigade of ants once. They mobilized like the Egyptians, lifting the giant sticky bun like the keystone block of a pyramid.

Anything is possible. All that's needed is more ants. 💪

Ants cant bc theyd have to stand upon eachother, in return greatly deminishes their weight to strength ratio

One fire ant bite in the right place would probably lift the elephant off the ground for at least a second or two,

One really big one

Just onw
