Info from Licensor: "A few days before my sister recorded the video, we saw an ant throw the dead body of another ant into our pool. We thought that it was really funny. Then a few days later we saw an ant carrying another ant so my sister immediately recorded it and the ant actually threw the dead body into the pool. I wanted to share the video so I decided to post it online so other people could see it. A few hours later someone commented why the ants do that. He commented this: Ants operate by detecting scents and when an ant dies its body secretes a pheromone that tells other ants 'hey I'm dead and someone needs to clean it up' so the ant cleaned up the dead ant. So I learned something about ants."
