Unless it’s the human aunt. Like if your mother and father both had a sister named “Sarah” (or if one set of grandparents were very lazy with their naming and your father or mother had two sisters named “Sarah”), you would refer to them collectively as Aunts Sarah.
No it isn’t. Ants is the plural for a single ant in the English language flat out. In no region does the word ‘ant’ fall under the Singular Plural rules.
The joke is that the meme has bad grammar, deer is plural. Rather than point out the obvious, I say that ant is plural, which is funny because it is both stupid, and draws attention to the deer/s. When my comment wooshes over heads, I follow it up with an even stupider comment, thinking that nobody could possibly be stupid enough to think that there is someone out there that thinks ant is a plural american english version of the British ‘ants’… and then I am once again astonished.
It’s just Ant… you don’t have to put the ‘s’, ant is already plural

I actually had a pet moose named Sarah, but have never had a pet ant named Sarah so I can’t confirm this.

Maybe in the original British English it’s not, but in American English, ant is plural

Well maybe I was referring to deer, and not ants. Humor is dead.
What was the joke? That your grammar is bad?

If it makes you feel any better, I got the joke :)
Thank you, I should have just kept pushing it further and further into absurdity.
