'Leafcutter Ants carry leaves they have harvested in the forest back to their nest to grow a fungus, which they use to feed their larvae. They are the only animals other than humans to cultivate their own food from fresh vegetation and they also use sophisticated antibiotics to ensure fungus remains pure without contaminants. 葉切りアリは収穫した葉を巣に持って帰り、これをキノコ畑の苗床にしている。人間以外で農耕を営む唯一の動物で、菌を病原体から守るために体内で抗生物質を生産して利用している。'
