Perhaps if you had to walk across the country with your possessions in your jaws, you might stand a chance for comparisons. Of course, the ants could cooperate and have their things trucked from hole to hole, but even then you’d have some tough figuring. For instance, an ant can easily transport 4 times its own weight the length of a football field without stopping for breath. If you were the size of an ant, you could watch your competition gallop past you at the speed of a fire truck while carrying a grand piano.
