Giant Anteater

quote:
Anteaters are edentate animals—they have no teeth. But their long tongues are more than sufficient to lap up the 35,000 ants and termites they swallow whole each day. ... A cornered anteater will rear up on its hind legs, using its tail for balance, and lash out with dangerous claws. The giant anteater's claws are some four inches (ten centimeters) long, and the animal can fight off even a puma or jaguar.

Name Game posted :

ANT can be configured to spend long periods in a low power “sleep” mode. ANT-powered nodes are claimed to be capable of acting as slaves or masters within a wireless sensor network. This means the nodes can act as transmitters, receivers or transceivers to route traffic to other nodes. In addition, every node is capable of determining when to transmit based on the activity of its neighbors.

Yeah, that was a good one. It's funny that everything that got nuked grew larger. I guess a movie about miniature rabbits, ants, or scorpions wouldn't be a box office biggie.

If you're looking for some good tech fantasy Daniel Suarez has Kill Decision and his previous two books Daemon and Freedom tm were both excellent.

Scientists have discovered that certain harvester ants work the same way Internet protocols do. Discworld's Hex, anyone?

We all know that ants are amazing biological creations, but it was only recently that researchers discovered that a certain breed of harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex barbatus) behave in a way that is not dissimilar from the way Internet protocols discover how much bandwidth is available for data transfer.

They're calling it the 'Anternet'.
