Animal Album

Living Pots
The desert-living honeypot ants have developed a system in which workers force-feed nectar to certain ants in the colony. The abdomens of these ants become enormously bloated, eventually reaching the size of a small grape. Then unable to walk, they hang from the roof of the ant's nest. When one of the other ants wants some of the nectar to eat, the food-filled ant disgorges a drop from its reservoir. Honeypot ants are a favourite food of Australian aborgines.
