This bird follows swarms of army ants—but never eats the ants themselves.
The Chestnut-backed Antbird inhabits the humid forests of Central and South America. Instead of hunting ants, it waits beside their marching columns to catch insects and other small creatures fleeing from the swarm, turning the ants into unwilling hunting partners.
A clever strategist of the rainforest, finding opportunity in the chaos of the forest floor.
