I’m used to seeing ant hills with just one small hole on top, but i came across one that had 7 big holes all over it and was inhabited by red ants. Could someone explain why this is the case?

Same reason we make building with more than one entrance. Traffic.
Some types of ants only have enough traffic to need one (obvious) entrance/exit. (there’s usually a back door somewhere less obvious). Some types of ants have enough traffic that they need more than one entrance/exit. Could be due to the size of the ants, the size of their “cargo”, or just the number of them in the colony. Or any combination of the above.
