minus-squareEm Adespoton@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up23·edit-216 days agoYour scale is off; imagine an Olympic sized swimming pool filled with ants with a lion in there somewhere. Now imagine 39,000 of those pools, each with its own lion and ants.
minus-squareshadowedcross@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up12arrow-down1·16 days agoJust a casual 500 and odd billion ants per lion.
minus-squareSpaceNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·16 days agoThat doesn’t seem like a lot of lions :(
minus-squareEm Adespoton@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up13·16 days agoIt’s not. But being an apex predator, there weren’t a lot even when their range covered most of Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
minus-squareUsernameblankface@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·16 days agoNow that’s a visual. All the thrashing a lion could do until it dies of exhaustion would barely make a dent in the ant population.
