Vögel

Die wohl wichtigsten Fressfeinde von Ameisen in außertropischen Bereichen dürften Vögel sein, allen voran

  • Spechte, die den Ameisen sowohl an der Oberfläche nachstellen, z. B. auch an Baumstämmen, als auch im Boden ("Erdspechte"). Selbst während der Überwinterung graben Schwarzspechte in Waldameisenhügeln bis zu 1 m tief nach Ameisen, Grün- und Grauspecht in Erdhügeln im Offenland.
  • Hühnervögel wie Fasane, Rebhühner, Auerwild und andere fressen in großen Mengen Ameisen und deren Brut, besonders während der Brutaufzucht.
  • Flugjäger wie Schwalben und Mauersegler erbeuten während der Schwarmzeiten in großen Mengen fliegende Geschlechtstiere von Ameisen.

Säugetiere

Insbesondere in tropischen Ländern sind

als Ameisenfresser bekannt.

, z.B. Ursus americanus, Ursus arctos horribilis, Ursus arctos yesoensis[31]

  • Fledermäuse, z. B. Rhinopoma microphyllum[32]: Fressfeind von z.B. alaten Camponotus fellah Gynen

In den Mittelbreiten graben

  • Wildschweine im Sommer wie im Winter in Nestern Hügel bauender Waldameisen. Sie verzehren vor allem Rosenkäferlarven und andere Mitbewohner der Hügel, nehmen aber auch Ameisen und ihre Brut als Nahrung auf.
