Germany: Astonishing Moment Ant Colony Amputates Severely Injured Ant's Leg To Save Its Life
Wurzburg, Germany - undated footage
[Note: no sound]
This is the incredible moment a colony of ants amputates the leg of a seriously injured ant to save its life in a discovery that puts them closer to humans in their treatment of injury than any other living animal.
The video shows the injured ant marked in yellow while others mill around it. Two ants appear to be trying to 'treat' their injured comrade, with one of them biting its injured leg off with pinpoint precision in the thigh area.
The study was led by behavioural ecologist Dr Erik Frank from the University of Wuerzburg in Germany and was published in Current Biology.
