Many bugs can regrow lost limbs. Next time they molt their exoskeleton after the loss, a replacement will have started growing and will develop more and more between each molt.
Imagine your buddy just randomly chewing off your leg at the thigh for an hour. With no pain killers. And you just sitting there like it’s the normal. Ants are just different.
I mean, insects are not known to experience pain. They only experience stress when hurt, and I guess maybe knowing that antputation is good for it, they don't experience stress in that situation.
@@mucicafrajertbf we can’t truly differentiate between motives for non-human species due to lack of ability to communicate with them. We only watch them and guess.

As I said, this is not something we can really prove. To care about someone else does not require a verbal language nor human intelligence.
People think consciousness is characteristic and exclusive to human beings. What we tend to observe more and more in nature is that we are, likely, the only species with individual consciousness. Because all the others seem to function as if under a collective consciousness, from which they don't know any other form of it, hence operating, adpted to their lifestyle, as a single organism. We forgot we are part of the same organism called Earth when we achieved individual consciousness, which if by one side allowed us to get much further in an explorative sense towards the physical world, it made us derive from the part of reality we can't see, including our relation with our environment, as phyisical individuals. It's like we are the only animal who forgot we are part of a bigger picture, hence lost to our personal objectives and goals, and forgetting our roles in this bigger picture. Ants inteligency gives a hint to their connectedness rather than separation as an organism, illusion given by the physical delimitarions.

Not in human style know, they don't keep libraries with this information or something.

Somebody actually ran an experiment where they coated a living ant in the pheromone that they release when they die. The other ants tried to carry him off to the burial chamber, but got very confused when he kept moving. And since nobody else would take him to the burial chamber, eventually he went and sat HIMSELF down in that chamber until the pheromone wore off.
I've seen antkeepers showing their setups and mention the "trash bin/graveyard" and always thought that was really cool that they've evolved that kind of behavior.

Fun Fact: Megaponera analis, the Matabele Ants, are known for consistently providing life-saving healthcare in the form of highly-antibacterial saliva that is applied onto injured ants that aren’t beyond saving (after being med-evacuated back to the colony from the site of combat). Ants that are beyond saving will even thrash about, resisting help, since even if they survive, they won’t be a very big help to the colony.
I wonder if it would be worth while to collect this anti microbial fluid for use on humans? An ant starts chewing another’s leg off, he says, “don’t worry, I’m a doctor “.
another things that shows how ants are like humans, if you don’t know the rest, let me catch you up on them: they have a monarchy, they are invasive, they want to conquer other ants but some ants species (like army ants) ignore other army ants just like humans, they have livestock (like aphids and melee bugs), they slave other ants and finally, they are doctors like what what we’ve learnt today.
Also, they bury their dead, and build enormous homes and cities, with different functions, for different ants doing different jobs (of different classes)!
Its amazing how developed some ant species colony are, like leaf cutter ant farming fungus for food by feeding it leaf which is literally agricultural practice and then this,You gonna wonder how they figure stuff like this out.
Individual ants aren't, evolution are, all this stuff is encrypted in their DNA, its different from the humans who invented and preserve technology and culture outside the genes, just by teaching next generations. Still, ants are turned out to be smart enough to try many different novel things so natural selection preserved some of them into genes like those technology-like adaptations - agriculture and such stuff there was an ant-inventor of this shit, probably many of them. DNA-based storing of advanced behaviour, comparing to culture/teaching-based, circumvent only "teaching next generations" part, not actual inventing
Weaver ants are pretty cool too and use the larvas silk to build homes in tree branches instead of living in rotten wood or in the soil or mounds. Termites are crazy too and use fungus for food, and sometimes even grow whole mushrooms in certain conditions, and use their droppings to build a lot of stuff, including little safety tunnels in the surface of logs and other open stretches to avoid predators and intense light.
From the study I've seen it's more interesting than that. The ants don't instinctively know when or where to cut, they have to follow other "doctor" ants for a while and learn and watch how it's done before performing these surgeries while under supervision of a more knowledgeable ant. It's really cool and ant medical school is apparently a thing
Tarantulas do this too in some cases, but they have to do it alone 😢 I saw a tarantula removed its own leg and was holding it, and it freaked me out so I looked it up, and apparently if something like a cricket or other prey bites their leg while they're hunting and there's a risk of infection, they will pull the whole leg off 😭 they grow back over time as the tarantula molts its exoskeleton, but it's kind of sad to think about. Something bites your hand and you have to sit alone in your house and yank your arm off with no assistance or tools, and then wait months to years for it to grow back. And it happens more in captivity because they're kind of trapped with their prey and can be bitten easier.
Luckily from what we know, insects and arachnids don't have a complex enough nervous system to be able to feel pain. They can feel discomfort, and they can be aware that they're missing a limb or have an injury, but it doesn't hurt them the same way injuries hurt us. So at least when they have to pull off a limb, it's at most, uncomfortable to them and not painful!
ant's eusocial structure never ceases to amaze me. these tiny creatures can make such complex decisions on an individual level yet we crush hundreds of them on a daily basis.

Professor Snape wearing a snazzy coat and teaching me about and surgery? Gosh i can’t tell if I’m just sick or this is the most interesting channel I’ve seen in a while
The ants aren't really doing anything incredibly intelligent here. The ants doesn't know WHY it feels urged to chomp of her sister's leg at the hip. It's just an instinctive impulse. Natural selection favored ants which would impulsively do this in response to seeing upper leg injury, and so it's an inbuilt instinct.
Dude from what I know about ants attempting to colonize continents being mixed with this information, they might be a major life form to evolve significantly in the future
Right? Props to the developers, most people wont even know their just down deep their efforts go! That's some Dwarf Fortress level world building right there.
They don't use anaesthesia... Well, maybe they do. Perhaps they secrete a natural anaesthesia, or maybe their nervous system works differently than ours. Perhaps they don't feel pain the same way that we do.
That’s amazing. We also know gorillas use medicine from chewed leaves. Doctors everywhere! But hold on… 40 minutes for an antputation?? Considering their size? Surely that can’t be right?
Considering the toughness of the exoskeleton and the power of their bite force, along with no anesthesia and the patient screaming and flailing all about. Yeah, 40 minutes is quick.
Studies also show that most animals and bugs don’t process pain the same way as humans, instead of discomfort it’s more of their body acknowledging that it’s damaged. That’s why you’ll see deer running with their guts hanging out, what doesn’t kill them doesn’t entirely bother them
If this sounds painful, keep in mind insects and spiders don't have complex nervous systems like mammals. Many scientists believe that pain in insects is more of an irritation versus the pain felt in an injured mammal that has thousands of nerve endings.
Wow! Never knew. The @AntsCanada channel really gave me a new appreciation of the tiny buggers. That guy really loves ants. They are more amazing than I would have thought.

Professor Snape wearing a snazzy coat and teaching me about and surgery? Gosh i can’t tell if I’m just sick or this is the most interesting channel I’ve seen in a while
“Hey man, I stubbed my toe”
“Oh sh, let me help you with that”
*BITES OFF LEGG*
“WE GOT ANT SURGEONS BEFORE GTA 6” goes hard 🔥
It’s a wild world we live in. People don’t give animals credit for the intelligence they possess
The ants aren't really doing anything incredibly intelligent here. The ants doesn't know WHY it feels urged to chomp of her sister's leg at the hip. It's just an instinctive impulse. Natural selection favored ants which would impulsively do this in response to seeing upper leg injury, and so it's an inbuilt instinct.
i like those puns that he used.. 🤣
Dude from what I know about ants attempting to colonize continents being mixed with this information, they might be a major life form to evolve significantly in the future
When ants have infections? That's how you know the world is detailed.
You talk like the world is a video game. Even viruses have their own viruses
@@moussaadem7933 Fr tho
Right? Props to the developers, most people wont even know their just down deep their efforts go! That's some Dwarf Fortress level world building right there.
Bacteria can get infections too
That isn't detail. It's just how it works.
Ants do mot not dare go back to the nest with head injuries! 😢😂
I imagine an ant with a bruised leg screaming, "ITS JUST A BRUISE GUYS!!! I'LL WALK IT OFF!!!"
What do you call the opposite of an ant? ANTimatter.
Anteater.
Do they use an ANTibacterial?
They dont its more woo woo missanthropic propaganda as long as humans believe microbes are harmful we will go deeper into slavery WE ARE MICEOBES
You are hilarious, I really appreciate your sense of humor as well knowledge!
but gurIs think hes borin n nerdy tho
They don't use anaesthesia... Well, maybe they do. Perhaps they secrete a natural anaesthesia, or maybe their nervous system works differently than ours. Perhaps they don't feel pain the same way that we do.
I think you mean analgesia
Their limbs don't feel pain
Another reason why I love ants
That’s amazing. We also know gorillas use medicine from chewed leaves. Doctors everywhere!
But hold on… 40 minutes for an antputation?? Considering their size? Surely that can’t be right?
Considering the toughness of the exoskeleton and the power of their bite force, along with no anesthesia and the patient screaming and flailing all about. Yeah, 40 minutes is quick.
@@edwarddrost5299Damn… that’s worse than the civil war! Especially since 40’ must last much longer at their scale.
Studies also show that most animals and bugs don’t process pain the same way as humans, instead of discomfort it’s more of their body acknowledging that it’s damaged. That’s why you’ll see deer running with their guts hanging out, what doesn’t kill them doesn’t entirely bother them
Or that could just be adrenaline preventing the animal from feeling the pain, the same as what happens to humans sometimes.
Ants got soldiers, only makes sense they'd have medics too.
So nobody's gonna talk about the ant that literally decapitated one of its own?
Where ? I only see the amputation.
That's just a head amputation lol
Ant #1- I’ve got such a headache!
Rest of the ants- can’t have a headache with no head!
Where!?
@@Ruby-Doc Watch the video
must be a gigANTic pain to clean up all the insect bits afterward…
If this sounds painful, keep in mind insects and spiders don't have complex nervous systems like mammals. Many scientists believe that pain in insects is more of an irritation versus the pain felt in an injured mammal that has thousands of nerve endings.
😊 INTERESTING 😮
ANTeresting?
They passed medical entrance exams naturally 😂
First surgery on a grape. Now surgery on an ant?! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
Ants getting a medic role before gta 6 is crazy🤯
We would be so screwed if ants became human sized
It's interesting to see Daithi de Nogla excelling in other fields
This summer Rob Schneider is ,,, an ant DOCTOR
Ants are Workaholics They deserve Sweets
Wow! Never knew. The @AntsCanada channel really gave me a new appreciation of the tiny buggers. That guy really loves ants. They are more amazing than I would have thought.
Ants analyzing the injured, assessing the injury, calculating the best course of medical treatment for the greater good its colony. 🤯👏🐜🐜👏
I wouldn't be surprised if ants also have their own engineers, Barbers, dentists, and lawyers
