Army Ants Rampage Through The Forest | 4K UHD | The Hunt | BBC Earth

Boasting a sensory system of 2 million antennae, this colony of Army Ants are a formidable proposition for anything alive which may cross their path. These dynamic insects, despite being blind, are able to transcend their size by working as a complete unit.

Taken from The Hunt (2015)
The Hunt is a celebration of nature's most determined and cunning predators and their equally cunning and elusive prey. Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, this series takes an intimate look at the remarkable strategies of hunters and, in some cases, the hunted, exploring the challenges animals face and the tactics they employ. The strategies of both predators and prey are shaped by where they live, so each episode focuses on one principal habitat, whether savannah, jungle or ocean.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

軍隊蟻を初めて知ったのは、とある映画だったのだけど、世界の広さを知らされた衝撃で、当時小学生低学年だったのに、しっかり記憶してます。 大人なってから詳しく知るようになりましたが、蟻の世界のシステムに更に衝撃を受けました。 この撮影をされたカメラマンの方、怪我をされてないかとちょっと心配してます😢

The husband and I live in Florida, and there’s an over abundance of red ants who don’t hesitate to bite. I found this out after being bit that I’m allergic to them. I cannot even imagine ever getting bit by these ants shown in this video 😮

[@numan5976]

It's getting itchy...it's getting itchy...😅 Army ants are one example, but seeing a group of ants makes me itchy... 😅

[@Ninjanimegamer]

It's the nest, and hordes of bugs/insects that I can't stand. Too many legs wiggling all at once, which makes my skin crawl.

Ants are incredible! I love them! And i love insects in general. But it's so amazing how ants are so organized. In my country the government, authorities are terrible, here you won't see that kind of organization and team work that ants have and how they seek the well-being of all its members. Thank you ❤ BBC

Why don’t ants get sick? Because they have little antibodies.

[@squawkwardscience]

Next time you complain about having too many people at a party, just be glad you're not a wasp facing an army ant raid. I wonder if the ants have a battle cry? Like, "For the colony!" or something?

[@DaveBuildsThings]

Everything overwhelmed by sheer numbers. This is why a small drone swarm will become the game changer in warfare. Even if you take out a few the rest will continue until the mission is completed. Scary to think that's this the future we're headed for.

An insect so small , yet that strong is amazing, this surely is no AI video as I got comments in other BBC earth videos, very well researched, documented, filmed & as always , really well narrated by David Attenborough

I left a half packet of Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles on a table in our living room the other night and in the morning there were about six or seven ants clearly following a laid down chemical trail going from behind the telly to the fruit pastilles. The clever little *******!

Could listen to David Attenborough narrate my impending death and I’d go out smiling.

[@debian9226]

[@footfault1941]

A simple question: how can they become so numerous? More eggs laid? Do workers live longer than other species of ants? How come?

Imagine how frustrating it would be to spend half of your life doing something, have it all taken away at random and then forcing you to start over. You're more than likely to experience this process more than once, and the phenomenon is so terrible that you don't even bother fighting it, you just instantly give up and leave.

You have many questions I can tell… Welcome to the ant keeping hobby. Here is a lost of your success and save money ☝️ Here: 1.) ant barrier - extra virgin olive oil 2.) founding chamber nest - water tower steel mesh for humidity 3.) seeds for harvester ants and carebara diversa 4.) water feeders for hydration 5.) test tubes for drinking water 6.) mealworms for infinite supply of insect liquid protein. I will no longer babysit you, do your own research now. Let the ant keeping hobby begin 😤
