Помогите пересказать текст на английском языке. Ants have lived on Earth for at least 100 million years-much longer than humans. In fact,scientists now think that the first ants must have existed about 150 million years ago.They have travelled to every corner of our planet,except Antarctica.There are more than 14,000 different species and,together,they probably weight as much as the worlds population of humans! Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones.They live in huge nests and they have developed complex social systems.Each ant has a certain job to do.For example,some of them bring food to the nests,and others -soldier ants-defend it.James Wilson,a biologist at Bristol University,says:”When we study ants,we learn a lot about how humans behave in groups.Its fascinating!” Sometimes,animals from different species work together and help each other.An interesting example is in relationship between Nile crocodile and a bird called the Egyptian plover.Very few animals are brave enough to go near a crocodile.Its huge jaws and sharp teeth are much too dangerous.But the crocodile lets the plover walk inside its open mouth.The plover eats parasites which are bad for crocodiles.In return,it gets food and protection. Like ants,crocodiles are much older than humans.Scientist believe that they could have existed for 200 millions years.Although dinosaurs became extinct 65 millions years ago,crocodiles managed to survive.Even though they look prehistoric,their brains are more complex than many other animals.A researcher who studied Australian crocodiles says they are clever animals.They can learn quite difficult tasks very quickly.But it isn’t good idea to get too close to them.They’re extremely aggressive,and several thousand people are killed by crocodiles every year.

Answer 1

Муравьи живут на Земле не менее 100 миллионов лет-гораздо дольше, чем люди.Они побывали во всех уголках нашей планеты,кроме Антарктиды.Есть более чем 14000 различных видов.Муравьи общаются с помощью химических веществ, называемых феромонами.Они живут в огромных гнездах и у них развиты сложные социальные системы.У каждого муравья есть определенная работа.НИногда животные разных видов работают вместе и помогают друг другу.Интересный пример-отношения между нильским крокодилом и птицей под названием Египетский пловер.Очень немногие животные достаточно храбры, чтобы приблизиться к крокодилу.Его огромные челюсти и острые зубы слишком опасны.Но крокодил позволяет пловцу ходить внутри его открытого рта.Пловец питается паразитами, которые вредны для крокодилов.Взамен он получает еду и защиту.Как и муравьи,крокодилы намного старше людей.Ученые считают, что они могли существовать 200 миллионов лет.Хотя динозавры вымерли 65 миллионов лет назад,крокодилы умудрились выжить.Несмотря на то,что они выглядят доисторическими, их мозг сложнее, чем у многих других животных.Исследователь, изучавший австралийских крокодилов, говорит, что они умные животные.Они могут очень быстро освоить достаточно сложные задания.Но не стоит подходить к ним слишком близко.Они чрезвычайно агрессивны,и несколько тысяч человек убивают крокодилы каждый год.

Answer 2

Ants have been inhabitants of Earth for at least 100 million years, a much longer period than humans. In fact, scientists now estimate that the first ants appeared around 150 million years ago. They have spread to every corner of our planet, with the exception of Antarctica. There are over 14,000 different ant species, and collectively, they probably weigh as much as the entire human population of the world! Ants communicate with each other using chemical signals called pheromones. They live in vast nests and have evolved intricate social systems. Each individual ant has a specific role to play. For example, some ants bring food back to the nests, while others, known as soldier ants, defend the colony. Biologist James Wilson from Bristol University remarks, "When we study ants, we gain valuable insights into how humans behave in groups. It's truly fascinating!"

Sometimes, animals from different species collaborate and assist one another. A notable example is the relationship between the Nile crocodile and a bird called the Egyptian plover. Few animals dare to approach a crocodile, given its formidable jaws and sharp teeth. However, the crocodile permits the plover to enter its open mouth. In exchange, the plover feeds on parasites harmful to crocodiles and receives both food and protection.

Much like ants, crocodiles are far older than humans. Scientists believe they have been around for about 200 million years. Despite the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago, crocodiles managed to survive. Although they may appear prehistoric, their brains are surprisingly complex compared to many other animals. A researcher who studied Australian crocodiles attests to their intelligence, noting their ability to quickly learn challenging tasks. Nonetheless, it's unwise to get too close to them, as crocodiles are extremely aggressive, causing several thousand human fatalities each year.
