What an amazing discovery! Scientists have discovered that ants

What an amazing discovery! Scientists have discovered that ants, after collecting the grains and seeds they need for winter, break those seeds down into halves before storing them in their nests. This process prevents the seeds from germinating, even in the most favorable germination conditions. But scientists were stunned when they discovered that coriander seeds stored in the ant nest were broken down into 4 pieces instead of 2 pieces. After lab research, scientists discovered that a coriander seed will still germinate after being divided into two, but it won’t germinate after it’s divided into four parts. So how do these tiny tiny creatures know all this? Humans know very little, there’s a lot to learn from other creatures.
