Malaysian ants are committed insects. If they sense a threat from a predator, they will do anything they can to protect themselves and their colony. These ants have large glands of poison inside their bodies, and when they contract their abs, they can cause either side of their body to explode, resulting in death for the predator and the ant, itself.
