This Massive Ant Bridge Will Blow Your Mind

Ants are everywhere. They're so common that we often don't think twice about them unless they're pillaging our picnic basket, of course. Though ants seem ordinary, they're extraordinary. A field ant's neck joint can withstand up to 5,000 times its weight. That's kind of like an adult human holding a Boeing 747. So what makes ants so strong? How are they able to build bridges? And how do they communicate to make it happen?
