Unless you're talking about multiple species of deer.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

True, same with fish and fishes. English is fun

Why is it bad when ants do it?

[–] TofuWater@lemmy.world 154 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Ants follow eachother in a line so they don't get lost on their way back to the nest. When they've lost track of the scent for any number of different reasons back to the nest they will follow the ant in front of them for guidance eventually turning into a "death spiral" seen in the picture. The ants are lost and will never find their way home and will march to their deaths.

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Makes you wonder why they’d shout hurrah in that situation.

They run in that circle until they die because they're all following the one in front of them.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can’t you redirect their focus by dropping something nutritious nearby?

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You probably could and that might redirect their focus for a bit, but I would think if they've lost the scent/trail back to their hill (which is the original cause for the death spiral in the first place), they're permanently fubar'd, since they'll never find their way back unless by accident. It might just delay the inevitable.

[–] Mirodir@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would assume you could redirect them to where the scent trail is present/stronger again, i.e. very close to their hill.

[–] registrert@lemmy.sambands.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're just following the trail of pheromones ahead of them. It goes around in circles so they'll just walk and walk until they die of exhaustion.

Never heard about it so had to read up on it, it's as obscure as a rat king to me.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (7 children)

rat kings are mostly fake though

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Current sience says it's very rare, but can happen naturally. There are multiple confirmed modern sightings.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did say "most," 1963, 2005 and 2021 are the only real ones I can find.

Compared to there being dozens in the 17th and 18th centuries

[–] explodicle@local106.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I imagine we did more rat watching back then.

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] dasgoat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

RatTube. Where it's just, you watch a tube with rats in it.
