The statement likens it to societal conflict, where the real enemy is the one who shakes the jar. It further states that if no one shakes the jar, there is no conflict between ants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"545\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28.png 545w, https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-28-265x300.png 265w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/groups\/319043595258667\/posts\/1809537786209233\">FB<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/scrnli.com\/files\/J1tEJJPE6jbd2B\">Archived<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users commented on it like below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-27.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-27.png 320w, https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-27-242x300.png 242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We decided to do a fact-check on this.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact Check&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attenborough&#8217;s Denial: David Attenborough&#8217;s lawyer, Michael Ridley,&nbsp; stated to AFP that Attenborough &#8220;categorically denies ever having made any such statement.&#8221; This directly contradicts the attribution of the quote to Attenborough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expert Opinion: Entomologists, such as Associate Professor Lori Lach from James Cook University and Professor Philip S. Ward from the University of California Davis,&nbsp; refuted the scenario described in the statement. They explain to AFP that regardless of whether a jar containing ants is shaken or not, ants of different species tend to behave aggressively towards each other due to differences in smell. The related AFP article can be read <a href=\"https:\/\/factcheck.afp.com\/http%253A%252F%252Fdoc.afp.com%252F9QJ8QT-1\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ant Behavior: Ant behavior is not solely determined by external factors like shaking a jar. Even if the jar is not disturbed, ants of different species are likely to exhibit aggressive behavior towards each other due to their natural instincts, driven by differences in odor and territorial behavior. More details can be read from<a href=\"https:\/\/bulwarkpestcontrol.com\/why-do-ants-attack\/#:~:text=Just%20like%20when%20they%20attack,a%20conflict%20will%20absolutely%20occur.\"> here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/ants-and-the-art-of-war\/\">here<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A related video of interspecies war can be watched below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"FIRE ANTS vs. BLACK ANTS: Another Ant War\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9Dle0rmsIYY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow us and stay up to date with our latest fact checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/factcrescendosl\/\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/factcrescendosl\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/factcrescendo_sl\/\"><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqBwgKMODMpgswyNe-Aw\"><strong>Google News<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@factcrescendosl\"><strong>TikTok<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The claim attributing the statement to David Attenborough is false. Attenborough denied making such a statement, and entomologists explained that the scenario described in the claim does not accurately reflect ant behavior. Based on their natural instincts and differences in odor, ants are likely to exhibit aggression towards individuals of different species regardless of whether the jar is shaken. Therefore, this claim is not supported by evidence and should be regarded as misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<!DOCTYPE html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t.container {\n\t\t\t\t\t  border: 2px solid #000;\n\t\t\t\t\t  background-color: #eee;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 5px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  padding: 16px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin: 16px 0\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container::after {\n\t\t\t\t\t  content: \"\";\n\t\t\t\t\t  clear: both;\n\t\t\t\t\t  display: table;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t  float: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 50%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container span {\n\t\t\t\t\t  font-size: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 15px;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width: 500px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  text-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  float: none;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  display: block;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Misleading.png\n\" alt=\"Avatar\" style=\"width:120px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><span>Title:<\/span>David Attenborough was inaccurately associated with a misleading online assertion concerning &#8216;black and red ants in a container&#8217;.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <strong>Fact Check By:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@factcrescendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fact Crescendo Team<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Misleading <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/html>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=94771514696&#038;text=Please%20send%20your%20query:%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" src=\"http:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Whats-app-sri-lanka-new.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe to our WhatsApp Channel Social media platforms are buzzing with discussions about animal behavior, captivating the interest of many.
