What makes these ants special? Who would have thought ants? Interesting.
My son after the Army was working for a trainer of Detection Dogs for awhile.
They got an order from China for dogs to detect Sea Cucumbers, Those are used for medication.
Those were being smuggled from China. They trained 5 dogs to sniff just those.

I will have to Google , Why is there an ant syndicate ?

Here in Canada we have a similar problem with people who try to smuggle live birds to China, hidden in their clothing. Or live turtles from Canada to the USA.

They've busted several Chinese college students here in the states smuggling in things like fungus that could decimate our crops. Yet, we still let them come here.
