There are two types of animals that rule the world. Ants are one.

Birds the other.

Found on every continent. Not sure about ants in Antarctica, but there must be some reason they named it ANTarctica!

;-)

Um, I think the prefix is to designate it is the obverse of Arctic.

It was named after the discoverers mother sister, Artica.
It was originally spelled Aunt Artica, but got contracted
and everyone forgot about the names origin....
Probably a bunch of chauvinistic men couldn’t take the
idea, that a large mass of ice-cold status could be named
after a woman.

...no, honey, I was just kidding....

Uh, so are humans. We rule! I can kill a bird or an ant any time I want. Can they say the same thing?
