Here's something that you don't see every day...a tiny ant carrying a tiny yellow flower! @Akmiz posted this video of the ant walking with the flower on Saturday, September 23rd, and the internet loved it immediately!

The video is only 13 seconds long and shows the ant with the flower walking along a paved road. The question we all have is, where is he going with the flower?

@Akmiz wrote across the top of the video, "His ant girlfriend is so lucky to have an ant boyfriend like him", with a crying emoji. The video, though short and sweet, caused quite a commotion on TikTok. It went viral and has more than 11 million views and close to 16 thousand comments. People loved it!

Commneters had lots to say about the video. @J got almost 33 thousand likes for the comment, "Perfect example of if he wanted to HE WOULD". @Nth got over 31 thousand likes with, "Even ants have a better love life than me". @ITZYOGIRLNIXIE made me laugh when she said, "Ants have more rizz than me and a better love life", as did @Blessy, "This ant is better than my ex LOL!"

Ants are extremely strong, so even though you'd think that the flower would be heavy for it to carry, it's really no sweat for him. Ants can lift about 5,000 times their body weight and carry more than 1,000 times their body weight. While that's a fun fact, what we are all more interested in is just where the ant was taking the flower, and why!
