Titan-017

General Information
Titan-017 is a very large species of ant. It is eusocial, like all other ants. Titan-017's nickname is Anchijōra, coming from japanese for "antjaw". Workers of the species live an astonishing 2 years. this may not seem like it is very long, but compared to other species of ant, it is a very long time. Queens live 45 years. Titan-017 resembles Odontomachus (Trap Jaw ants). Specimens of Titan-017 have a pair of large, straight mandibles capable of opening 180 degrees. These jaws are locked in place by an internal mechanism, and can snap shut on prey or objects when sensory hairs on the inside of the mandibles are touched. The mandibles are powerful and fast. Titan-017's mandibles either kill or maim the prey, allowing the ant to bring it back to the nest. Odontomachus Titanus (Titan-017) can simply lock and snap its jaws again if one bite is not enough, or to cut off bits of larger food. The mandibles also permit slow and fine movements for other tasks such as nest building and care of larvae. Trap-jaw ants of this genus have the fastest moving predatory appendages within the animal kingdom.
