What am I?

What animal is older than dinosaurs, but lives in the mud?

Has no ears, lungs, or blood?

But they can swim, have two stomachs, steal and own slaves, and can lift 20 to 50 times their own weight!

A few can even make honey, if they vomit nectar that they just ate!

They typically fight to the death, and are loyal to their Queen

Most take tiny naps throughout the day, but scientists aren’t certain if they ever dream

They live everywhere, except for Antarctica, and farm everything from fungi to plants 

20 quadrillion of these incredible creatures are called Ants!
