WHAT DO THE ANTS REACT IF AN ANT DIES ?
Ans. E.O. Wilson , one of the world's best ant expert and researcher , revealed that unknown fact. According to his observation we come to know the below mentioned unknown truth.
If an ant dies , the rests are naturally unable to notice as they depends on smell instead of eyes. So they do not realize as it is a dead body up to three days , rather they think as an another ant standing on that position. But after three days there reeks Oleic acid. The ants realize that smell as a rotten ant. If the ant dies in their colony , one from the ants takes the duty to throw it into the garbage.
E.O.Wilson further noticed that anything smells like Oleic acid , the ants assume that one as rotten ant. Once he tested a piece of paper with Oleic acid. As usual the ants completed their duty. Next he coated a live ant with Oleic acid. Surprisingly one of the ants found the stinky ant and threw it in the midden. The stinky ant didn't resist. Rather it is its headache to clean it off before returning to their colony. Yet any stinky Oleic acid smell means again returning back to the garbage forcefully.
