According to researchers at Bristol University in the UK, ants are ‘better than humans’ when it comes to choosing a new home.
(The ants were given a choice between two nests, one of which was superior to the other in its construction. The scientists noted that the ants chose the superior nest even though it was nine times further away than the alternative. It's all very clever, but what the scientists failed to figure in is the ants were never presented with a mortgage to pay at the end of the month.)
