Quote of the Day

It’s a metropolis.  Home to millions of ants ... A single colony harvests half a ton of grass a year, more than any other animal on these plains.  But since they themselves can’t eat it why do they do so?  The answer lies underground ... This is a fungus that is found nowhere else on Earth.  And the ants cultivate it assiduously ... They construct their nest so that it has an automatic air conditioning system.

- David Attenborough
