interesting research but it s really cruel to cut the legs of an ant they wouldn't like it if i done it to them but that is how humanity is thinking that we are better than anything else and that we can do what we want :(

yes quite cruel, and to what end? did we really need to know how they made it home, they just can and they do......
they count steps, right?
Yeah right, they count their steps. And they navigate with the sun....i saw an video from these kind of ant. In the video they said the same....
Cruel i agree, but nice to know i think.
