Ant an ant can be acid injection is limited, therefore, some "warrior" inferno. But they fought, in less than a minute, finally put out the fire. Living body will immediately "comrades", a "transferred to the nearby cemetery", covered with a thin layer of soil, as a burial.
A month later, the zoologist and put a candle in the nest the original observation. Although the "fire" bigger, but this group of ants has experience, deploy forces quickly everything in good order and well arranged, cooperative engagement. In less than a minute, the candle is extinguished, and no dead ants. Scientists believe that ants create fire.
