Leaf-cutter ants. Leaf-cutter ants live in colonies that can be huge, up to three or four million individuals, occupying as many as three thousand underground rooms. These ants live in a partnership with a fungus that grows nowhere else in the world except in leaf-cutter ant colonies. The ants depend on the fungus and the fungus depends on the ants. The fungus has lost the capacity to reproduce on it's own.
