actually they can lift more then 350 times there body weight and support 5000 times there body weight, but even a google search still shows ants can only lift 50 times there body weight, but heavy lifting ants have been seen carrying 350 times own body weight and holding 5000 times there own weight without crushing,
thats like a grown man holding a 63,000 pound jet up, and being able to withstand the crushing force of a 400,000 lb boat above him

No animal, once frozen solid (i.e., water solidifies and turns to ice) survives when thawed, because the ice crystals formed inside cells would break open the cell membranes. However there are certain frogs that can survive the experience of being frozen. These frogs make special proteins which prevent the formation of ice (or at least keep the crystals from becoming very large), so that they actually never freeze even though their body temperature is below zero Celsius. The water in them remains liquid: a phenomenon known as 'supercooling.' If you disturb one of these frogs (just touching them even), the water in them quickly freezes solid and they die.
