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

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

4000000000mg / 125mg = 32 Millions ants.
