  • An ant colony is a frenzy of activity. Somehow, in the midst of what appears to be a sea of chaos, the ants manage to work together to create an orderly home. Does this coordination require communication? If so, what would an ant’s “words” be like? How many words are in the ant vocabulary? Here, evolutionary biologist Edward O. Wilson is translator and guide on a tour through the ant vernacular.

      mike112769 Maybe a Jimmy Stewart crossed with Ed Wynn ...
      Anyway, he has an interesting demeanor, something like mildly drunk or even casually stoned, though he could simply be jet-lag relaxed, I don't know. He should do children educational books and videos (lol) ... ;)

      He is not!! We have it in the Quran over 1,400years ago.. When God said Solomon was going with his army of Men. They got to a valley of Ant, and a female ant called out to the other ants 'to take cover' alerting them of the danger that Solomon and his Man could crush them(the ants). Solomon heard the conversation of the ant and then praised God for the blessing of letting him understand the ant language!!
      Quran 27(Chapter of Ant) verse 18-19
      18. Till, when they came (King Solomon and his unique Hosts) to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: ' o ye ants, go into your dwellings lest Solomon and hosts crush you (under foot) while they do not know. '
      19] He (King Solomon) smiled, and laughed at its words, and said: ' o my lord! Grant me that I should be grateful for your blessing with which you have blessed me and my parents, and that I may work the righteousness that will please you: and admit me, by your grace, to the ranks of your righteous servants."
