Creature: Ants form a chain to pull a worm (28. Aug 2014 10:04)

I have never seen something like this before. The most amazing thing what i saw, was when ants really lifted up something completely from the ground together and carried it away but i've never seen them forming such a long chain.

Hope you like it

Very cool to see this in a close up video.

It reminds me on some living constructions from different species, but such teamwork is something different. Very impressive. Any idea which species this is?

Theses ants are Leptogenys species.
I only know that because I've been looking up what ants I may discover in Cambodia.

Here is a similar video showing these ants forming the chain behaviour
