UM Hello, and welcome to The University of the Air.

PART 68, "ANTS.
" AH! WE'RE IN LUCK AGAIN, MARCUS.
Hello, formicidophiles.
Well, before all the blood and guts you're waiting to see let's have a look at the anatomy of the little ant.
The body of the ant is divided into three sections the head, the thorax and the abdomen.
They are enclosed in a hard armorlike covering called the exoskeleton which provides some protection from other nasty little insects but, unfortunately, not from the dissector's scalpel.
See, nothing to it.
He's not such a toughie.
And his legs they help him carry hundreds of times his own weight but look at this.
You're not so strong compared with me.
Four, five, six Ha! I DIDN'T KNOW ANTS HAD SIX LEGS, MARCUS.
I assure you, they do, Mr.
Ellis.
HEY, YOU'VE GO TWO LEGS MISSING.
AND THAT'S A FALSE FEELER, MARCUS.
BLIMEY! I'M TAKING THIS AN BACK, MOTHER.
IT'S GOT TWO LEGS MISSING.
MRS.
McWONG'S BEEN ON THE PHONE.
THE POLAR BEAR'S BEEN IN HER GARDEN AGAIN.
