Warrior Siafus or driver ants are African ants that use team work to its max. Individually a Siafu has no eyes, no venom, and only strong jaws. Alone, it can only inflict a small yet painful bite. As a team Siafus can strip a water buffalo down to the bone in under an hour. For more info on Siafu's check out this link: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Driver%20ant And as you all know the drum is used for many different purposes such as: a calling to action, call to assembly, ceremonies, celebrations, etc, etc. So the combination of the two is a strong wave of communication. Is that a "yes" Warrior?

Isn't it an ant "siafu"? One of thee deadliest ants in Afrika, no one messes with the Siafu... It's a dope name too! The Siafu is said to clean the land! I seen them on Discovery Channel one night. The Siafu is no joke, they said the Siafu killed a man that was passed out drunk one night!

[Jacuma]
