The Bulldog Ant is one of the biggest kinds of rodents in Australia and steps about 15-36mm long. It is also known as Bull Ant or Jumper Ant, is red/black and has exceptionally long, straight, distinctive mandibles which make them recognisable with substantial eyes.

Almost an exclusive Australian species, they are widely distributed across all states. Typically found outdoors, they build their nests underground, although some favor a hollowed tree trunk or rotten log. The nest is difficult to find as it features a small opening which is covered with plants or debris. They’ll attack any intruder that comes close to the nest.

An allergic reaction or several bites in humans may result in anaphylactic shock, which is dangerous. The Bull ant mainly uses its venom to paralyse insect prey.
