Ant power

Ants are renowned for their remarkable strength, as certain worker ants possess the ability to lift objects that are up to 50 times heavier than their own body weight. This impressive feat is possible because ants, along with other insects, have exoskeletons—external skeletons—that bear the majority of their body's weight. Consequently, their muscles are not burdened with supporting their own weight, which allows them to exert greater force when lifting objects.
