minus-squareDr_Box@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up34·8 个月前Absolutely ants. The sheer volume of every ant in the world working together would be horrifying
minus-squareUsernameblankface@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up24·8 个月前That working together part adds so much to the ants’ advantage. Even if the ants’ entire strategy was “bite lions, no bite ants” they’d absolutely win
minus-squaremetaStatic@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·8 个月前“Bite lion and also any ant not from my colony” would also be a winning move
minus-squareTheRealTetricz@lemmy.tetricz.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·8 个月前I just imagine lions covered in ants from tail to nose.
minus-squareEm Adespoton@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up23·edit-28 个月前Your scale is off; imagine an Olympic sized swimming pool filled with ants with a lion in there somewhere. Now imagine 39,000 of those pools, each with its own lion and ants.
minus-squareShadowedcross@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up12·8 个月前Just a casual 500 and odd billion ants per lion.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·8 个月前That doesn’t seem like a lot of lions :(
minus-squareEm Adespoton@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up13·8 个月前It’s not. But being an apex predator, there weren’t a lot even when their range covered most of Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
minus-squareUsernameblankface@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·8 个月前Now that’s a visual. All the thrashing a lion could do until it dies of exhaustion would barely make a dent in the ant population.
minus-squareLost_My_Mind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·8 个月前Man, elon musk is getting real weird with his hobby of building pools just to fill them with ants and lions. Why’s he need so many, anyways???
minus-squareShadowedcross@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up10·8 个月前Looked to see if there was a visual representation of the number of ants in the world and found this So yeah, would say they’d be covered tail to nose.
