Fastest ants in world found in northern Sahara, researchers say

"Largely due to the extreme high temperatures of their habitat, but also due to the threat of predators, the ants are active outside their nest for only about 10 minutes per day"

> As the climate crisis escalates the Guardian will not stay quiet. This is our pledge: we will continue to give global heating, wildlife extinction and pollution the urgent attention and prominence they demand. The Guardian recognises the climate emergency as the defining issue of our times.

> Our independence means we are free to investigate and challenge inaction by those in power. We will inform our readers about threats to the environment based on scientific facts, not driven by commercial or political interests. And we have made several important changes to our style guide to ensure the language we use accurately reflects the environmental catastrophe.

> The Guardian believes that the problems we face on the climate crisis are systemic and that fundamental societal change is needed. We will keep reporting on the efforts of individuals and communities around the world who are fearlessly taking a stand for future generations and the preservation of human life on earth. We want their stories to inspire hope. We will also report back on our own progress as an organisation, as we take important steps to address our impact on the environment.

Ok, so that's about the first time ever when such a box resonated with me. I'm willing to start dropping them money just because of that. But a question first - what's the HN's current opinion on the Guardian as a publication? How accurate are their articles in general? Is it a publication worth supporting?

Does this make them the/one of the fastest animals?

Things like this really make me wonder what the other sentient species out there must be specialized in, compared to us.
