World's Fastest Ant Has Just Been Clocked at a Breathtaking 855 Millimetres Per Second
When you think of fast animals, it's probably something like cheetahs, or greyhounds. But when measuring in body lengths per second, the arthropod world is unmatched. And now we have a new record-holder - the fastest speed ever measured in an ant.
