An ant can lift 50 times its own weight and pull 30 times its own weight.
50? isn't that a bit too mutch? i thought it was more like 7 times <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
It's all relative, if an ant was our size, it wouldn't be able to lift its own body weight. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />
Ants are pretty much 100% muscle. They're so small they have no lungs (they breathe straight through their shell) and no heart (constant movement is enough to pump the blood).
