Ants soldiers jump off the nest with their intruders!
When junk is captured, the soldier ant Malagidris Sofina , Madagascar, do not hesitate to drop him down from his nest to the extract. Once on the ground, it goes back to the colony. http://enjoycoloring.com/ This radical defense strategy is new to science because ants tend to use the jump to move or to escape a predator.

Malagasy ants Malagidris Sofina , endemic to the island , do not have vertigo. On the cliffs of clay or rock, they build nests whose entrance forms a horizontal funnel at a height measured from the ground between 10 centimeters to 3 meters.
