Xinxiang Huixian ants there is a mysterious mountain, there is a mountain known locally as their attacks, the legend also had attacked a squad of Japan, the reporter personally witnessed the ant hill experience and their ferocity.
they are legends of the Amazon Basin is the like the ant hill?
close to the cliff of the mountain road in the carefully climbing, cliff of the valley people scared.
than an hour later, a taxi will send us to a village called South Yaocun, this is located in the beautiful hillside village We're going to the ant hill from only two or three kilometers of road.
Yaocun exceptionally quiet southern rain, more than 20 families, scattered in the cliff side, close the doors closed almost every family, who met with great difficulty, I heard We're going to the ant hill, all shook his head, said there akin to finding steep, not too good to go, are not willing to lead the way. we met on the rocks returned from the terrace group, Haoshuodaishuo, he finally agreed to our request.
from stone house behind the house slopes of Group started up the hill path, over layers of terraced fields, over a heavy jungle, twists and turns, we climb over an hour. to the top, close to the cliff cliff is a stone path, path down a few hundred meters of the valley. off trail, is a verdant valley, waist-deep weeds, has sealed the original paths, five to six years the rocks have not been to the group, has not found the original route up the mountain, we had to detour, between the prominent rock climbs the cliff, over the two mountains, three hours later, I finally reached the ant hill.
Ant Hill is the highest mountain with an elevation of 1,700 meters. station In the ant hill,
We are also very strange: we went to the ant hill in the mountain trail, huge head from time to time to see the black ants, but also to see many come out to feed the snake, but in the ant hill, black ants and snakes sight hard to find.
Stone Law Group, said the red ant hill ant very aggressive, the locals be called running, mountain snakes, badgers, mice, black ants, and so are afraid to close out. ridge is the boundary between Henan and Shanxi. Peak is the highest peak and the sunny side of the pine forest covered with red ants living in the Sanin region on one side, where dense with grass and low sheep Hu hazelnut trees, grass and trees for the soft reddish brown pine needles and soil.
before entering this area, the rocks group wants us to fasten his pants, because the high sensitivity of red ants, grass trees as long as the person, one touch, they will Shuadeyixia come out, people started to attack.
did not walk a few steps, on the rocks cluster suddenly to launch attacks.
the ants built in clusters of trees, grass between Hu sheep, crowded ant eggs, four or five centimeters thick, arranged in the middle of the grass trees, if you do not hand push lightly, hard to find.
us arrival, apparently alerted the ants, they have been aware of the danger, began a large-scale move.
they obviously have a tight organization, most of the ants in an orderly manner bean size will be moved to the vicinity of ant eggs under a rock, while others around the warning in the relocation of the road, we just a little one close, they immediately erected four front legs, hind legs support the body, opening the two pincers, as if to bite.
Red ants encountered a dead end on the rocks
group said only the quick action of the ants, but also very strong attack, the villagers who had eaten goat Division dual protection.
dual protection, according to the Secretary described the day he ants Mountain sheep, found a lost goat, left to find the right look, finally found the bones of sheep. He thought it was a leopard eat a goat, but think carefully, leopards generally like to drink the blood of sheep, even if the meat is also do not eat so clean.
order to ascertain the truth, he went home to catch a chicken, the bones of sheep on the side, not long before the attacks of ants climb out of tens of thousands of chickens. A few hours later the chicken was eating ants have a skeleton left. This confirmed his goat is eaten by ants.
even more amazing is that these red ants also had double-Paul's father saved the Division Secretary Garrison life.
day, Secretary Garrison in the herbs in the grass ant hill, he suddenly met a 1 meter long snake, snake is preparing to attack when he suddenly turned, pain and struggle, He was curious to scrape together a look at the past, the original snake body crawling with ants, is doom to bite.
Although the snake's venom poisoned a lot of ants, but more than an hour later, turned into a snake skeleton. Therefore, the Secretary Allison, surviving.
red ants much larger body of ants, the ant eggs than just saw a lot of big, they will be exposed by surface dust and Clipping plug up the hole, leaving out of the channel.
they are obviously more offensive power. photojournalist In order to take ant eggs, squatting next to the lens close to the nests of ants nest, only a few seconds, twenty to thirty ants to climb up his shoes along the calf, while the other dozens of ants climb to continuously . as wearing shorts, no protective measures photographers, twenty to thirty ants attack the pain was immediately bouncing him up and beat a long time before them removed one by one, his legs, and immediately played a dense red dot. He finished clear of ants legs, only to find there are a dozen ant bites on his arm, they had to climb down the camera come.
reporter catch a few ants to do the sample, the hand new to ant nests, ants immediately have to climb a few bites, feeling like a sharp pain, like needle Zharu Pi skin, and itchy feeling.
under attack, we withdraw more than 10 meters away, and clouds Results Team Red Ant also Buyiburao, Looking back on the smell came running to us, a mountain not to rest until we are out of the battle of ants.
ant attack is accompanied by a strong pungent sour smell people more than dizziness, can not be further close, even more than a dozen steps back, the smell can smell, it is probably self-defense and hunting is their secret weapon, I believe that the individual smaller animals would be the smell smoked halo, to be their meal.
ants here are interested only in meat, we did an experiment, brought their own cookies and bread thrown at them, and find that they are not interested, but we throw the insects caught to them, they are immediately gathered around the bite.
Although the locals have not heard of red ants eating event, but the reporter through what had happened to believe that if their numbers are enough, in the attack when the human , few people would escape their attacks.
ability, allowing some villagers to nearby South Yaocun worry: if these against fire ants, Forestry to the Henan University of Science and Technology Vocational College Professor Zhang confirmation.
Zhang preliminary analysis that they can not come from the Amazon ants of cannibalism, it should be in China, Shandong, Sichuan, Jilin and other places are distributed red forest ants. this red ants generally prefer cold environment, so more nesting in the hills.
Professor Zhang said, the red forest ant nest activities generally begin from April each year, reached a peak in July , August and September activity will decline into hibernation in October. In addition, their activities outside the nest by the dual regulation of temperature and humidity.
red forest ant that, in the forest, mostly insects, small animals for food, very aggressive. when their nest was destroyed, it will secrete large amounts of formic acid, which is news to the pungent smell of the smell. usually nest in a certain region there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of ant activity.
reporter online search found that 2000 kinds of ants in the country, the red forest ants are small ants is one of several edible, medicinal value and high nutritional value, some has been to develop local.
