Passage 1:
In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a myriad of species coexist, contributing to one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. Among these is the peculiar leafcutter ant, a species that has perplexed scientists for decades. Unlike other ants that rely directly on food sources like leaves or fruits, leafcutter ants engage in a unique form of agriculture. They cut leaves and carry them back to their nests, not for consumption, but to cultivate a special type of fungus. This symbiotic relationship underscores a remarkable example of insect farming.
