world's fastest ant in ant family

By
The Saharan silver ant is the fastest in the world, found in the northern Sahara. Which can run at a speed of about 85 cm per second. Which is more than 100 times larger than their body size. To run at such a high speed their legs play a very important role, which is shorter as compared to other ants, which helps them to run faster as compared to other ants.
And then another thing is they move their legs synchronously in a very unique way.
They only move 3 to 4 of their 6 legs while running, which helps them run faster.
And they can also endure a very high temperature, because of the tiny silvery hairs present on their back which reflect the sun rays, which act as a shed and protect them from the high temperature of the Sahara desert.
