RE: The aardwolf (Proteles cristata) is a species of hyena that does not hunt large animals, but instead eats about 250,000 termites each night!
aardwolf eat 0.25 million termite. big number but the number contains only 2.5-3.0 kg weight so not a big deal for aardwolf. I see termite colony every where around my surroundings. I wonder how many termites are there. may be in trillions or zillions.
Yeah, that's a good point, @kamchore. 0.25 million sounds like a lot, but each termites is very small, so I guess the termite colony has no problem with this. However, there's far from trillions, and the best estimations I could find from a quick Google search was that a colony might have a few million each.
Your point of view is valid. The best idea is to count the colony of termite instead of counting termite.
