Ants have been practicing agriculture for millions of years, long before humans even existed.
These tiny creatures have developed complex relationships with fungi, providing them with a home and nutrients in exchange for food.
Leafcutter ants are known for their sophisticated farming techniques, cutting foliage and cultivating specialized fungal growths for nourishment.
This fascinating study reveals that the origin of ant agriculture can be traced back to the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs, when fungi thrived in the environment.
