minus-squareTheRealTetricz@lemmy.tetricz.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·8 months agoI just imagine lions covered in ants from tail to nose.
minus-squareEm Adespoton@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up23·edit-28 months agoYour scale is off; imagine an Olympic sized swimming pool filled with ants with a lion in there somewhere. Now imagine 39,000 of those pools, each with its own lion and ants.
minus-squareShadowedcross@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down1·8 months agoJust a casual 500 and odd billion ants per lion.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·8 months agoThat doesn’t seem like a lot of lions :(
minus-squareEm Adespoton@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up13·8 months agoIt’s not. But being an apex predator, there weren’t a lot even when their range covered most of Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

minus-squareUsernameblankface@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·8 months agoNow that’s a visual. All the thrashing a lion could do until it dies of exhaustion would barely make a dent in the ant population.
minus-squareShadowedcross@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up10·8 months agoLooked to see if there was a visual representation of the number of ants in the world and found this So yeah, would say they’d be covered tail to nose.
