00:00The strength of an animal is not measured by their size.
00:08Because in the animal arena, they are just a small animal to be thrown in the air.
00:14Really small but terrible.
00:19Calfs are champions in weightlifting.
00:23Calfs use their weightlifting skills every day to carry food.
00:30No matter how heavy the load is, they can't see the weight of the body.
00:37Even if it's 20 times heavier than them.
00:43They have a super strength in the world of insects.
00:47They are already packing food for their colony before the next rain comes.
00:56All of their paths will surely lead them back to their colony just like a hopper and other insects.
01:06Not only can they carry prey, but they can also injure their neighbors.
01:13This is called transport.
01:16Calfs are very useful.
01:20Aside from carrying food, they are also a protector of predators or bigger predators.
01:29Even though they are small, they are very painful to bite.
01:34Especially if an egg is being kept in the nest.
01:43Ouch! It hurts!
01:46Calfs are said to be more aggressive in that stage.
01:53Their formic acid spray smells like kerosene.
02:00They are very hard to bite.
02:03They will stick their abdomen where they can create a break in your skin.
02:10They can really defend their abdomen.
02:15Their strength in carrying is crucial for the survival of their colony.
02:21Even though they don't get any medals for their hardworking,
02:26they are a champion who will be considered a solid help to their family.
02:41Thank you for watching Born to be Wild.
