Researchers announced that the Saharan silver ant is the world’s fastest known ant species.
About:
The Saharan silver ant (Cataglyphis bombycina) is an ant that lives in the Sahara Desert.
It can clock a blistering 855 millimetres — nearly a metre — per second. Measured another way, it covers 108 times its own body length per second, a feat topped only by two other creatures, the Australian tiger beetle and the California coastal mite.
It does this by swinging its tiny 5-mm long appendages at speeds of up to 1,300 mm per second.
