Viral video shows ants running away with a gold chain, netizens praise 'team work'

Ants are known for their massive strength, but they also know how to work as a team. And this video shows just that.

According to the video posted on Twitter by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda, a colony of black ants appears to be lifting up what looks like a gold chain and moving it along the way on an uneven floor. He has captioned the video as "Tiny gold smugglers. The question is under which section of IPC they can be booked?"

Watch here:

This short clip of an ant carrying off a heavy gold chain was circulated last year too.

In the clip, ants are seen treading between cracks as they usually do to acquire the chain. Nature in all its grandeur is nicely captured on camera in this fantastic moment.

More than 143,000 people have watched the video since it was posted and have commented on it.

A user even responded humorously to Mr Nanda. He wrote, "First need to identify their gender. If female it's their rights to be maintained & live with status. For men, no need to book a case, contact few state police & they will encounter on spot."

"Nothing is impossible with a team spirit and teamwork," said another.
