Title: Saharan silver ants are cool, literally Written by: duddy on Jun 22, 2015 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_22_06_15_10_43_52.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=22081) Saharan silver ants live in sands that get as hot as 70°C, but the ants themselves can't get any hotter than 53.6°C. To survive, they've developed a hairy and silvery coating that reflects most of the light that hits them - and keeps them from getting cooked! |
