65 million years later returned

Science people have managed to produce "super soldier ants", which has now been encountered very rare, now using genes that reach millions of years ago.]
] Super soldier ants, which have a head and jaw, are rarely seen in just a few regions in the world. However, scientists managed to produce super soldier ants with the larvae they received from a colony located in the Long Island area of New York.
The colonide in the subject, eight ants with a huge cockle than other ants were detected. The genes of giant ants have been predicted by millions of years.
Canada scientists examined the type of Pheidole morri with the normal size living in the same colonide with giant ants, and this type was understood that the super soldier houses genes that will turn into the ants.
Researchers found that Pheidole morrisi can taste a special hormone to its larvae, not workers or normal soldier ants in the larvae, but they can provide the development of “super soldier ants”. [
English from McGill University Dr. Rajendhran Rajakumar, “We discovered the potential that they can become super soldiers in the country. Thus, 35-60 million years ago we have seen that the breed can reach biological properties.
Canada researchers have taken into account that they can play a very important role to return to the remaining genes from ancient times to bring new physical properties to their lives.
]COLON SAVUNUERS
Super soldier ants can arise in wild nature, even if they are very rare. Giant ants, which are very rare in deserts in the US and Mexico, protect their colonies from attacks of enemy ants.
Asker ants use their giant heads to block the entrance of the column and spray ants that come to the colon.
