Ant Work: Space-Age Habitats
Ants are interesting creatures with two stomachs and three eyes, and they can lift up to 20x their body weight. Now you can observe them in space-age habitats that look like aquariums. The habitat is filled with miraculous gel from a NASA Space experiment, that is serving as nutrition for the ants. The funniest thing about having an ant habitat is that you can watch how the ants turn a brick of aqua-blue gel into a fascinating colony of tunnels. They are capable of doing this because they have special communication skills and amazing abilities to work together to achieve a common goal.
