African killer ants...

Just because i love animals, and getting again to the subject of weird animasl. Right now I'm going to talk about ants. Have you ever wonder how dangerous an animal such as a little ant can be?
I'll give you an example...Imagine you're laying on a field filled of grass sleeping, then you feel as if something were burning you and in the moment you wake up you see thousands of ants eating your skin. The only thing yo can clearly see is your muscle.
You try to take the colony off of your arm but you can't, the ants are eating you alive.
It's horrible isn't it??
Well there are this kind of ants called Dorylus ants, you can find them in Africa and the west part of Asia.
I wouldn't like to find them, they can eat whatever they find. When they find a human the human regularly dies of asphyxiation, and then they eat the whole human. These ants live in colonies from about 20,000 members. With two or three soldiers per colony.
So the next time you want to take a quick sleep in africa think about it twice.
