Driver ants are found throughout Africa, chimpanzees as well.
And in the Thai Forest, when they find a nest of these driver ants, they would select a tool
that is normally a bit shorter than this one--about 40 to 35 centimeters long.
They would dip one end of the tool in the nest of the ants.
The ants would climb up--attacking, biting--and when they would be so, a third up,
the chimp would take them in the mouth and eat them.
In Tanzania, they use a stick that is double the size that normally is being used
by the Thai chimpanzees.
They do the same thing in the sense that they put the end of the stick in the nest of the ants,
let them climb up on the stick.
But when they have done that, then they turn the stick, take it with the other hand, pull the stick
through the hand, and then the mass--a ball of ants they have here--go in the mouth.
So you have, you know, a behavior--the chimpanzees are the same on both sides.
The ant species are the same on both sides.
The tool is about the same, but they use a different technique with two hands and a longer stick.
