5 Reasons Ants Are Amazing | BBC Earth

Ant: Hatches Colony .2 seconds later: okay, time to get a job!

[@Noctazar]

Hatchling worker: Hello, worl- Queen: You're hired.

[@Sanch47]

@@Noctazar lol exactly!

[@babalonkie]

Funny and true but some additional information. Once hatched the ant will be soft and still treated as a baby, fed, protected and cared by others around it. When it's exo hardens, which can take minutes to days, it will then be given the roll of caring for other young (Normally the safest job in a Ant Colony). Only when ants get older, they get closer to the dangers, so expansion, gathering, hunting & Guard duty.

@@junlei6964 Nope. Elephants have a location but don't bury and same with termites. Neither farm other animals. Ants are the ONLY Known* species other than humans to farm animals and bury their dead to prevent disease. Ants also create "vaccines". When a ant gets infected it will self isolate. If it survives, it then feeds antibodies to the rest of the colony. :) Corrected*

@@hobo9974 They are facinating little animals. If i had the camera gear, i would record all the weird things they do. Most things you would not believe unless you saw it with your own eyes. Did you also know... * They will make a colony toilet. * They will make a colony nursery. * They will make a colony waste bin. * They will make a colony graveyard. * They will regulate humidity inside their nests. * They will regulate temperature inside their nests. * They communicate to each by touching their antennas, like a physical sign language. * They use different scent markers for safe passages, injured ants, foods, danger and probably more. * Only the most experienced ants are allowed outside their nests unless it's a emergency. * Every ants nest/colony is different in someway or acts differently in some departments. * A queen can live longer than a cat.

I wish in future animal documentaries the Foley artists (creating the sound effects in post production) calm themselves down when inputting sounds ... sometimes, there is really no need to put those sounds and it is more disturbing than enriching the content. For example, 3:25 - when the ant army is walking around ... that's a pine cone being played with ... very distracting, if the volume were at 4 out of 10 instead of 8 out of 10, it would be much more bearable. I wish one or 2 Foley artists see this comment and share the feedback within their industry ... because really, in many cases, those sounds are too exaggerated ... and some are overused too.

[@jerrylee8261]

Music is entirely unnecessary for these docs and a lot of the time it's TOO LOUD and distracting to where I have to mute the sound. Would much prefer natural sounds-birds, rustling wind, running water, etc.

Maizing Video

[@HimanshuMauryadesigners]

How do they shoot this type of stuff? Will love to see a video explaining how it's shot (particularly small animals)

[@Adriana.Gabriela]

Tele macro lenses, expensive cameras and hiding out for hours on end and days on end until thry get good footage. All that while also researching how they behave and analyzing or assuming what they might do next to prepare for the crew's next step

[@zarine6799]

Well I have an answer for how they get inside nest footage, they have their own ant colony holder that has transparent glass that allows us to see inside (As u probably guessed.) And they shoot the footage for whatever it's needed for.

[@joshyoung1440]

​@@Adriana.Gabriela they're not doing "all that WHILE researching" these animals lol these are people with degrees, they've long ago done the research

[@antonyarulprakash3435]

Every human should know these!

[@footfault1941]

The very initial stage to build a huge colony is a big feature here. Queens without servants must do everything by themselves. Is that including feeding larvae, right? If cocoons were removed and taken care, newly hatched ants could be fertile, away from the queen (her pheromone/hormone)? Experiments?

[@100Pushups22]

Only gamergate ants could do this.

“Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, ‘O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not.’ “So [Solomon] smiled, amused at her speech, and said, ‘My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants.’” (Quran 27:18-19)

[@aymaxjin8630]

There's a whole chapter in the quran titled (al naml النمل) Arabic for ants dedicated for these amazing creatures. and another one titled (al nahl النحل) bees, reflecting the genuineness of their social and extreme intelligence that distinguish them from other insects. God is the most greatest most merciful ♡

[@aymaxjin8630]

@Jon Smite i only mentioned the correlation. And that my religion promotes science and courageous research and knowledge, but you guys seem to turn a blind eye whenever religion is mentioned even if it was supported with evidence and logic. Just like you did now neglecting everything been said. Religion and science are inseparable for islam gives you answers that beyond the realm of science.
