Sahara Desert ant : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sahara Desert ant
The Sahara Desert ant (''Cataglyphis bicolor'') is a desert-dwelling ant of the genus ''Cataglyphis''. It inhabits the Sahara Desert and is one of the most heat tolerant animals known to date. However, there are at least four other species of ''Cataglyphis'' living in the Sahara desert,〔Petrov 1986〕 for example ''C. bombycina'', ''C. savignyi'', ''C. mauritanicus'' and ''C. fortis''.〔Heusser & Wehner 2002〕 ==Background== Sahara desert ants are scavengers. They forage for the corpses of insects and other arthropods which have succumbed to the heat stress of their desert environment. While no known land animal can live permanently at a temperature over 50°C, Sahara desert ants can sustain a body temperature well above 50 °C (122°F) with surface temperatures of up to 70 °C (178°F).
