According to Dailymail, after discovering a strange ant nest, scientists had to dump 10 tons of concrete and excavate to see how big the size of the nest was.

After 10 days of waiting for hard concrete blocks, scientists excavated and discovered a crisscrossed cave system. Using excavators, scientists discovered the ant nesting area up to 46.5 square meters, 8 meters deep.

Works of ants with large scale and complex structure.

This project has a complex structure, the intermittent transport roads that the ant colonies have built are relatively complete.

Scientist Luis Forgi, head of the research team, said it was an "unimaginable" project. It is a small, complex and large-scaled city, equivalent to the "Great Wall of Man" in China.

Huge city ants.

Giant ant city is full of structures of highways, trails and gardens, located underground. This is the largest ant populations in the world ever discovered. However, no one is sure about the time and the reason why ant colonies leave this mansion.

The ants have dug a total of about 40 tons of land to build this city.

Estimates of the ants have excavated a total of about 40 tons of land to build this underground city. To complete, each worker ant must at least remove soil piles weighing many times its weight and move the distance equivalent to more than 0.8 km.

This may be the work of the leaf-cutting ant and the largest ant species in the world.

According to scientists, this may be the work of leaf-cutting ants, the largest ant species in the world . Leaf-cut ants are thought to be the second most complicated social structure on earth, just behind humans. A queen ant leads every giant ant nest.
