Researchers He noticed ants, an invertebrate species with an outer skeleton, almost always oriented left turns when exploring new territories.

"Ants can use their left eye to detect predators and right eyes to navigate. The world of ants is like a labyrinth, so turning in a certain direction is a good strategy, helping them find and escape the maze , " Fox News quoted Edmund Hunt from Bristol University as saying.

"All individuals turn in the same direction to create quantity safety. Perhaps the left-leaning bias is wiser," adds Edmund Hunt.
