Ants have been alive
since the time of the
dinosaurs .

insects. An ant is one of
the strongest animals
on earth because it can
carry a seed five times
its weight.

like people.
Ants build their
homes underground.
They dig to form an
anthill. Beneath the
anthill there is the ant
nest. The nests are
often built beneath a
rock or log.
A-Choose the correct words
from the box to complete the
following sentences:
1- The train goes through a tunnel in the mountain.

dig – tunnel – release - beneath
Small nests have
only one chamber.
Large nests have
thousands of chambers.
All the nests protect
ants, eggs, and food
from weather and other
animals.
Leafcutter ants take
the leaves to the nest to
recycle them, and
release nutrients into
the ground that help the
plants grow.

Ants spend their lives
working together. They
begin their working lives
by cleaning themselves,
then they start sharing
food and licking each
other. They are all
active and they work
until they die .
Sometimes ants are
not safe even in their
own homes because the
giant anteater can open
an ant nest in minutes
and eat 20000 ants in
one meal. The giant
anteater’s body is
designed to eat ants. It
is slow and has no
teeth. It has strong
claws to dig through
hard dirt, and a sticky
long tongue. 47
Young ants work in
the nest, helping the
queen ant, and digging
tunnels. Other ants
search for food, protect
the nest, and dig more
tunnels.
The world is a
dangerous place for
ants. There are many
kinds of animals that
eat ants, such as lizards,
birds, and ant lions.
