- With extra long legs to raise their bodies above the hot ground and silver hair to reflect the sun, silver ants are built for life in the desert. But even they have limits, and being the fastest ant on Earth comes in handy when you have to race to beat the heat.

Taken from 'Earth's Great Seasons' (2016).
The BBC's Natural History Archive celebrates the extraordinary nature of the four magnificent seasons on Planet Earth, and how animals and plants rise to the new challenges they bring. In each episode, we visit a different season, each with its own magical and dramatic personality, and reveal how different animal characters must find their own extraordinary ways to make it through.
Narrated by Andrew Scott.

They actually look so cool, and wouldn't be out of place in a scifi setting 👌
they walk on hot sand.. 🐜: 'ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch'
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They are beautiful
Absolutely!
They make me itchy
they look shinny. glimmering
Only working for 10 minutes then taking a break, sounds like a government job to me.
😂
One job kills you in 10 minutes, while the other drags it out over 30 years.
In the government, no one die overheated!
What an amazing creature!
I love ants, never seen anything like that before! Wow
Maybe if I work hard.
Give all my food to the colony.
Sleep only 8 minutes a day.
Surely the Queen will notice me. 🐜
Great comment. Very funny! 🐜🐜🐜
You need to worry more about all your sisters. Nobody likes a free loader. (I do not know but willing to bet there is a chemical signal to tell the colony you are just wasting time doing nothing.)
Underrated comment, very funny
All ant workers are female
Kamala will reward you
I love BBC Earth
We have some BIG,BLACK ants in Trinidad that we call TAK TAK.If one bites you,you can get a fever.
I have heard that country, it is an ant when compared to other countries, then in this tiny country there is an ant that can bite you and give you fever😂😂
Fascinating! If their reflective shields could be scaled up for shielding our space vehicles and other more earthly purposes.
I didn't know about these ants until now.
Background music just like john wick movie
They possess beauty
These ants are truly impressive. They have the incredible ability to thrive in extremely hot and scorching weather conditions. Love these creature🐜
They only lost one soldier
Who knows bro 😊
Hab ich mit 50ig, noch nie gesehen ✌️❤️🤛 schön das es euch gibt! Ihr seit aktive Naturschützer, da die Faszination wieder geweckt ist, mit solchen tollen Bilder! Danke
Foley artists working hard on this one.
Jesus what kind of microphone is sensitive enough to capture the sound of ants walking on sand
The fact that their hair are shaped like tiny prisms and reflecting the sun is some insane biology there!
They’re like little firefighters
Didn’t think ants could go this fast
Amazing
Chrome shiny and bright!!! Witness me!!
Very impressive!
I know the chances of them meeting are nonexistent, but I wonder who would win if a colony of Silver Ants came across a colony of Red/Driver/Army ants.
I would say the red ants, as cool as silver ants are there more about withstanding heat
Imagine being beat up by an army of track stars 😂 like trying to fight hundreds of flash 🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♂️ at the same time 😂😂😂
@paddy654 report what?
Def the drivers
Depends on the location. There is a reason they are some of the only survivors out there. But others can dominate across more biomes.
Incredible 😲
These Silver ants looks valuable.
The ants have a complect way of life . They work together as a team for the benefit of the Queen and the rest of the colony . Its asuccessful way of life for them.
My aunt is also hairy. 😐
You may not know that all ants are stronger than elephants when it comes to carrying objects relative to their body weight.
this ant is weird insect
Super excited 😮😮😮
We are family ~~
Hell yeah
I never knew insects could have hair
So these ants are what inspired Durant in Pokemon
those silver ants are so strange🤔
Those ants are indeed built to stand the weather and the life conditions in the desert.
Who else felt sorry for the ant toward the end who didn't make it?
Now i understand, why when Alexander the heroic conqueror going to Persian territory, they recruit more silver shield soldiers.
Amazing ❤
Sehr interessant. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
Ants are Smart ❗❗
That was wicked, great music to go with it, I loved that. 🙂 What was the music? Anyone? I have Shazam extension loaded but it couldn't make it out.
10 minutes?
Keep them away.
Really these are very fast.🌹🌹🌹🌹
wow
The Fastest Ant on Earth | Earth’s Great Seasons | BBC Earth 2255pm 11.8.24 ants are strangely odd and amazing. even living atop an ant's nest in a tent has it's merits....
is this the original sound? or is it all sounddesigned and foley? usually ants don't make such loud noise when moving, carrying flies etc. 😂 would be interesting if anyone knows. awesome animals btw!!
I am about 98% sure most footage of ants or any other invertebrates in any wildlife documentary is heavily sounddesigned for immersive and cinematic reasons. After all, they don't really make audible noises, as you said. Silent video of ants crawling around wouldn't be very entertaining for the audience. Also "the sun being hot" doesn't sound particularly like this agressively growling one where I live.
❤❤❤
Would someone kindly translate ant's velocity (Reynolds number) into a human size?
A quem entender de filmagens peço explicação : - Essas imagens são reais ou é fruto de imagens criadas por computador .
Did you know that computers can create videos now. These videos are so real, it's almost creepy knowing that very soon, we will not be able to tell the difference🤯
Subhan Allah
Prisms on the skin. Nature does not stop impressing me. Too bad that most just see them as pests.
There has GOT to be way we can get ants to clean up our trash....on earth.
🥴
Muchas gracias
☀️
🌵🌵🌵
🐜 hot 🐜 hot 🐜 hot
SubhanAllah..Our creator is the Greatest Indeed.
👍🏿🇹🇹

what does an ant become once ocean water or lakes cover them for a long time
Thank you Allah for showing that you are truly the lord (creator,sustainer) and indeed the most wise. There is nothing comparable to you. You are indeed the truth to you alone we worship and to alone we ask for help. Guide us all to th straight path.
i wish they wouldnt use celebrities for narrators
There is different types of arts all over the glop and every one of them been made with unieke adptation what do match the geology and of course the weather. I hope can learn things from ants . Fun fact they are not only breedings , they can do other beautifule things. Thanks 😊😊😊
1st you talk up how heat resistant they are with silver exoskeletons… and then you said they can only last 10 minutes 🤡
I think he means how heat resistant they are compared to other ants and for their size (like less water content, so they dehydrate quicker than a larger animal). If a human had a coat of similar hairs, we might be able to withstand the heat for a long time and even feel comfortable for a while.
Apparently coating these ants in chocolate is yummy
I believe Jesus Christ died on the cross for my sins and rose again and he's alive and well forever more. I believe God in the flesh is Jesus Christ. Thank you.
All that complicated design and in the end a stupid comes and say evolution
sub-functional IQ comment
I agree. They should be more specific when referring to the Miracle of Evolution. 🤔
