Welcome to a brave new world: Genetic scientists create freakish man-made monster ants with huge heads and jaws -
Nightmarish ‘supersoldier’ ants with huge heads and jaws have been created by activating ancient genes.
Scientists believe the monster ants may be a genetic throwback to an ancestor that lived millions of years ago.
Scientists say they can create the supersoldiers at will by dabbing normal ant larvae with a special hormone – the larvae then develop into supersoldiers rather than normal soldier or worker ants.
