I immediately know why and its not about steps its about communication. How do the ants know how many steps to the food? its because other ants communicated it. Im 99% sure that is what the study was about. So there is a lot they are verifying. communication. mathematical concepts, how they parse distance. remember the foot is called that because it was sorta an average size of a foot. yard is basically a stride.
Anyone else wondering how they even thought “Do ants count their steps?” To begin with ?
Let alone “Do ants count ?”
Or if they can even walk on stilts. I know if some aliens came down and attached stilts to my legs I would just lay down and die.
Same, but not before I bust my shit on the pavement and scrape my knees bloody. Fun times–for the aliens.
