One researcher compared the phenomenon to "a human having chimp babies," and then using those babies as "a source of sperm for giving birth to human-chimp hybrids that would do all their tasks."

Scientists have discovered that Iberian harvester ant queens have a unique reproductive ability that has never been seen in any other animal.

The queens of the Iberian harvester ants, or Messor ibericus , can produce eggs that grow into Messor ibericus and Messor structor , even when Messor structor populations are located very far away from Messor ibericus colonies. From there, it gets even stranger, as the M. ibericus ants then apparently use the M. structor ants to create an army of hybrid workers who exist only to serve the colony.

The discovery was made when researchers began
