> At the end of all things, when evolution has reached its inevitable end, all that will be left is a war between ant eaters and crabs.

From reading the aritcle, it seems that ants are really crappy as an energy source:

  One thing myrmecophages share is an almost insatiable appetite — ants and termites are so low in energy that even a small animal like the numbat must eat about 20,000 termites a day

I think this explains why Anteaters spend most of their day doing nothing but sleep -- they barely get enough calories from eating ants.

I think cockroaches might have something to say about this.

Ant eating crabs.

Crab eating ants.

We'll kill the ones that eat us and eat the ones we kill.

Crabs are already quite susceptible to ants, due to ants being small enough to swarm and attack the joints and gaps of the crab's carapace.

So are humans, we have nostrils and other holes

What about a crab made out of ants?

Now that's distributed systems
