35、e probably already known by now is that ant brains are tiny! Ants are tiny insects, so their brains must be even smaller to fit inside their little heads. Elephants, on the other hand, are large animals. So its no surprise to learn that an elephant brain is large. But just how big is an elephant bra
36、in? Scientists tell us that the human brain weighs about 3 pounds. That s pretty big, considering the size of a human being. Elephant brains weigh 1113 poundsabout four times the size of the human brain. Compared to a tiny ant brain, an elephant brain is thousands of times larger!But does brain size
37、 determine intelligence (决定智力)? Not necessarily. When thinking about brain size, its helpful to compare the size of the brain to the size of its owner. If you compare the ratio (比例) of brain to body weight in humans and elephants, you learn that this ratio is about 1:50 for humans and about 1:800 fo
38、r elephants. So, for their size, humans have much bigger brains than elephants. Even though elephant brains arent all that big compared to their size, they re known for their intelligence and good memories. But what about ants and their brains? Of all the insects in the world, the ant has the larges
39、t brain. There are about 250, 000 brain cells (细胞) in an ant brain.
