Nature is incredible, even the smallest creatures plays major role for healthy ecosystem.

[@sharonvalli7745]

I wonder how many days it took for BBC Earth to make this video.

[@sonacphotos]

The camera shots and sound design is just incredible. No one does nature like BBC

[@Russia-bullies]

Not as long as it took the termites to build.

[@cameronmcanally5977]

At least 3

[@dannydanquah3681]

I asked myself the same question when watching the time lapse. Incredible.

[@dare2know765]

At least 10 years

[@josephmartin6219]

Basically a giant brain made of thousands of termites, incredible nature!

[@terramater]

Termites are so underestimated! Our team got on camera the enemies they have, like anteaters and even wildlife, and it's fascinating to see what they do to survive!

[@Memeguypost]

Damn! Life is fascinating in literally any form.

[@williamramos3350]

The smallest of creatures creating the most impact. This takes awesome to a whole new level.

[@CharlesKesson-jp9dz]

Thanks for all your videos BBC. Every single organism has a role in nature 😊

[@Ry----]

What about today's humans?

[@CharlesKesson-jp9dz]

@@Ry---- Humans are organisms

[@Ry----]

True. I mean what is today's human role in nature?@@CharlesKesson-jp9dz

[@ankitshakyasid]

this information was jaw dropping, im still stunned by this fact

[@footfault1941]

A fabulous natural engineering! Its cooling mechanism is well know, but here another finding! This is BBC!

[@gangadharamg9469]

They play an important role in making the soil fertile .

[@island661]

Who knew Termites were so cute?! 🥰

[@elpirata5468]

Brilliant Wonderful tiny Architects

[@ifeomaokafor5835]

He is the greatest of all time

[@ifeomaokafor5835]

Yah he is

[@jametalboy]

How all the animals make help the eco system... We think termites are just insects but the role they play along with the elephant giants and then the plants... Nature is fascinating and we must embrace that... Thanks to BBC EARTH for the patience they had to make this...

[@SebatasAsumsi]

Need a full video

[@tab7302]

My favourite class in Termite Fortress is Termite Scout.

[@Allenfactsandinsider]

Video was uploaded 7 minutes ago I am waiting for this video since many years

[@blucat4]

Wow, nature is amazing. Who would've thought we would be impressed with termites. :-)

[@stefangoldensteinwildlife9929]

Very good production 👍👍

[@krishiokhamar24]

Subhanallah ❤ আল্লাহ সুবহানাল্লাহ ওয়া তা'আলার সৃষ্টি কত সুন্দর

[@sajibdebnath8824]

This is incredible..😧

[@UntilNextime]

A fascinating time lapse for sure. Was this years in the making to produce 5 minutes?

[@SpectreOfChar]

They are like macro nanomachines

[@TreDogOfficial]

Wow! The termite oasis🌴

[@leifdux7277]

Props to the cameraman for being a termite temporarily.

Gelungenes Video. Gruss Jürgen 🤠

[@alanatolstad4824]

Wondrous!

[@MauroMeneguzzi]

Vida longa pros todos os aminais natureza é incrível como é fantástica 🆗️🇧🇷👍😁❤️🙏

[@SOMEONE-hv3xc]

Those termites aren't given any credit, they just adapt to survive with their amazing architecture and strategies and other wildlife just takes advantage of it. Other than plants of course because they provide a food source for the termite colony.

[@markwehner2154]

Amazing contribution to the ecosystem. Around here, all they seem to do is eat your house and fence. :(

[@user-ey8nn1mz8i]

Termites are so cool Their queens are disgusting but in a cute way i love em :)

[@stanislas64]

What happened to the whirlpool galaxy ?

[@thiagopollo]

Sensacional!

[@mukrangterang9907]

❤ so beautiful

[@Kkone-wp5hr]

I like it.

[@ecosistek]

termites are wonderful workers 🙌

[@bangdihoon]

My question is how did BBC earth get a video of a elephant pooping next to a termite hill

[@gohshuifa]

WOW

[@nibelungvalesti]

Is it possible to hire them to build me a house?

[@mdmohsinalam8938]

Nice

[@DogeRider985]

I thought we gonna see them on microscope or something 😅

[@uunistu8006]

Ooo man

[@sathyamevajayathe1544]

Every creature has a job to do, one that Nature assigned ( except man?)

[@adorable8229]

What can our job be though

[@jacksugden8190]

👌

[@eyupuretmen9546]

☝️

[@muhamed_alashmnty]

How can this ant work by natural not god ?

[@orishaeshu1084]

Because you literally can see them building it ya clown

[@dimitryanyanwu7681]

And people believe this was all made by a Big Bang explosion🤣 , life is literally too perfect for that, someone literally built all this one by one, God did

[@rororoze3288]

There is a whole surah in the holy quran named ( al-namel ) which means " the ants "

[@blucat4]

In the Bible it says: "Follow the ant, thou sluggard, and learn her ways."

[@benchmark47]

One like for my comment😂

Allah is great always no one else can be a great because Allah owns everything on this planet

[@jaffarsamoon6711]

❤✅🕊️ regards and respect to you all for your hard work and dedication. Let us learn that " Almighty GOD the creator of the day and night, the heavens and the earth 🌎 has created every thing full of purpose, so we all should recognise His Majesty that He is unique and only one with nothing resembles HIM. we should not associate any partners to His Majesty.......

[@ItsYaBoySkinnyPenis69420]

oh man the fake sounds are getting so much it makes it hard to watch this

[@blucat4]

I *like* the BBC's sound effects!

[@GajendraParmar-dj6rq]

Amazing termite world and BBC

[@Catfishguy]

Say what you want about ants, this termite fortress is super cool

[@haiqashah7498]

Wow!

[@ej7260]

Incredible. Reminds me another video I watched on youtube about beavors. Impact of their hard work and miracle of engineering is so far reaching that scientists only recently discovered its benefits in wetlands of Europe.

[@smithgov]

Yes, they call them "keystone" creatures/animals. Amazing.

[@crosscounty24]

Nature is amazing

[@MrJesseFisher]

Absolutely fascinating. Termites to most people are recognized as pests, but they’re absolutely vital for a healthy eco system.

[@jeffreykushner6973]

3:51 "150 such islands" Who be counting that 😳

[@jagman745]

When I see all the design and structure these little critters are able to do I'm amazed; this must come from a highly intelligent designer.

[@smithgov]

Indeed...anyone who delves into the natural world will be rewarded with the proof of a creator in front of their very eyes.

[@mohamedekeibed7942]

Timeless production ❤

[@hobifish7779]

Is that why he lets innocent children be kidnapped, raped,tortured and murdered everyday?

The Narrator sounds like the same guy from *RealEngineering*

God is great... Oh myy 🙏🙏🙏

[@sohistoriatriste9428]

Isso sim é conteúdo

Sehr schön. Gruss Jürgen 🤠

[@4nc3st0r]

I don’t think all that digital editing helps with understanding the topic at all. I find it rather distracting and confusing.

[@garudasomanna]

A zillion thanks to you BBC Earth for providing this insight into the way in which God interweaves the lives of his creation! The all wise God uses tiny creatures, the termites to build islands in rivers!

[@smansab59]

Symbiosis at its best. ❤️🩵
