Dracula ants, found in Africa, Australia and south east Asia, use their jaws like a catapult, pushing them together to build up tension before they fly apart. Dracula ants snap their jaws shut at an incredible 200mph - 5,000 times faster than the blink of an eye, according to researchers of the University of Illinois, who used high speed footage to confirm the finding.
