The Courier has teamed up with Blair Drummond Safari Park to offer readers the chance to win a family pass for two adults and two children each week - and learn a bit more about their residents at the same time.
The safari park is home to many iconic animals and people travel from all over the country to come and see the lions, elephant, giraffes and rhinos. Today we would like to shine a light on some of our lesser known (and smallest) residents.
Within our indoor elephant viewing platform, you can find our colony of leafcutter ants. With their nest on one side of the room and their fresh resources on the other, our ants travel from one end of the exhibit to the other using ropes between the two. As they walk between the two, you can see them carrying bits of the leaves they have cut.
