Do Ants Bury Their Dead?

Why yes. Insects called Ants keep a fairly clean house. They carry their waste matter outside of their nest and dispose of it in a pile called a midden. As well as being a kind of dumpster, the midden also functions as a cemetery. Ants transport their dead there in order to protect themselves and their queen from contamination.

 

Not all vertebrates and mammals do bury their dead.
