Ants Help Clean New York City By Eating Your Food Scraps | One Strange Rock


[Music]
they know it one hot dog with mustard
please there’s a whole bunch of people
in the modern city and all of them have
to be fed all right thanks buddy okay
you’re welcome all right for everything
we don’t eat everything we leave behind
there is a lot of hungry critters that
are waiting to get to it
believe it or not if you added up all
the food that is consumed by ants on the
streets of Manhattan it would be the
equivalent of 60,000 hotdogs per year
[Music]
these guys are actually providing a
vital service for us because by eating
up all this waste food they are limiting
the number of rats and pigeons in the
city that could be carrying nasty
diseases [Music]
