The “ManhattAnt” Is a Species of Ant Unique to New York City

In 2012, scientists discovered the “ManhattAnt,” a previously unknown species of the insect that appears to exclusively live in New York City where Broadway meets 63rd street and also 76th street.
They believe the critter, which is related to the cornfield ant, may have evolved on its own due to its isolation in the city. The ant has adapted to its warmer, drier, concrete-covered environment.
