Ants

Ants are social insects and most live in colonies which can be extremely large consisting of
millions of members. There are about 20.000 different species of ants and they can be found
almost anywhere and in every biome.

There are three different kinds of ants. The queen is the first kind and she has on purpose – to
mate. She spends her entire life laying eggs. The second kind of ant is the male who mates
with the queen and they don’t live very long. The third kind of ant is the female worker and
she cannot produce young but she is the one that builds the mounds and supplies the colony
with food.

Most ants build some type of mound to live in. Many dig their mounds in the dirt or sand.
Some use twigs to make them stronger. Some ants live in fallen logs or trees. Most ants build
a system of tunnels under their mound which connects rooms, or chambers, they use for
specific purposes. Some of the chambers are used to store food and some are used as
nurseries. The rooms are used as resting places for the worker.

The ant’s body is made up of three part – the head, trunk and metasoma, or rear. Each ant has
six legs that are attached to the trunk. An ant has eyes that allow them to see extremely well
because of many lenses. An ant’s antennae are also very special. They allow the ant to hear,
taste, touch and smell. Ants use their antennae to touch on another, which is the way they
communicate.

Mickey Mouse

Micky Mouse was not Walt Disney’s first successful cartoon creation, but he is certainly his
most famous one. It was on a cross-country train trip from New York to California in 1927
that Disney first drew the mouse with the big ears. Supposedly, he took his inspiration from
the tame field mice that used to scamper into his old studio in Kansas City. No one is quite
sure why he dressed the mouse in now-familiar shorts with two buttons and gave him the
yellow shoes. But we do know that Disney had intended to call him Mortimer until his wife
Lilian intervened and christened him Mickey Mouse.

Capitalizing on the interest in Charles Lindbergh, Disney planned Mickey’s debut in the short
cartoon Plane Crazy, with Minnie as co-star. In the third short cartoon, Steamboat Willie,
Mickey was whistling and singing through the miracle of the modern soundtrack. By the
1930s Mickey’s image had circled the globe. He was a superstar at the height of his career.

Although he has received a few minor changes throughout his lifetime, most notably the
addition of white gloves and alterations to achieve the rounder forms of a more childish body,
he has remained true to his nature since those first cartoons. Mickey is appealing because he
is nice. He may get into trouble,but he takes it on the chin with a grin. He is both good-
natured and resourceful. Perhaps, that was Disney’s own image of himself. Why else would
he have insisted on doing Mickey’s voice in all cartoons for twenty years? When interviewed,
he would say; “There is a lot of the mouse in me.” And that mouse has remained one of the
most pervasive images in American popular culture.
