MY ANTS' NEW HUNTING GROUNDS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- I gave my pet carpenter ants (The Redwood Warriors) some new hunting grounds and their reaction to it was just awesome! I created a naturalistic forest habitat for the ants, so they could have some new lands in which to forage for their food. It was a more naturalistic way to house and feed them. Hope you enjoy today's episode! Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Hi
Yo
Ye
👍🏻
Maybe the ants didn't notice the cricket because there were so many other new smells. Moss, dirt, plants, even the new plastic of the outworld.
@THAMI♥️% Wtf i hate bots
@THAMI♥️% GET OUT
yeah
@THAMI♥️% why is it here
@THAMI♥️%wats dis? can't understand 🤔
AntsCanada every time he sacrifices a cricket or roach for the ants:
*You know, I'm something of an Aztec priest myself*
@Shad0w lol
Very cool habitat my friend! It’s pretty neat to see how the ants behave in the out world when foraging for the cricket! 🦗🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
*Edit well apparently that sweet jelly was where it was at haha
eee
Yes!!!
@THAMI♥️% SHUT UP
hello
The ant looking for the entrance reminds me of “a bugs life” when the leaf falls in their path and he freaks out🤣🤣🤣
Oh
“I’M LOOSSTT!! WHERE’S THE LINE?!?”
@@berrystraw8059 LOL 😂
Its funny im not really into ants but randomly a fee years ago this channel hit my recommended list. Here i am still watching and enjoying a subject i didnt think would be peak my interests
That's the best way to discover new interests! Through someone so genuinely enthusiastic, and so good at presenting the information in an entertaining way, that you want to learn more.
Same
yeah
I enjoying the video too, but I somehow was more interested how I would be able to capture and eat ants from the neighbourhood so I probably don’t need to buy meat.
I saw a TikTok a few years ago where it said hot people watch ants Canada and I’ve been hooked every since
Your stuff always feels Discovery Channel level. I'm surprised they haven't signed you for anything yet.
They have featured one of his videos before.
I bet antscanada is preparing to move to his new house that's why he's always late when uploading. Btw this so exciting
Yeah, figure guy has a lot on his plate, plus he likely doesn't have his best equipment available right now. I for one can wait a bit
He explains everything on his second channel
I think so too.
Imagine an earthquake and all the ants are loose
the house was nearing done in his last update on the building, and that was 4 months ago...
but also construction times are kinda a nightmare in a non-pandemic year so it might still not be livable yet
I hope the springtails and things can get to that mould before it gets out of hand, it’s quite close to the colonies main chamber.
The fact that these ants are able to communicate and understand each other is amazingl! Even when they told each other about the new lands.
yeah
@THAMI♥️% ew bots. this aint tinder
Honestly can't wait for Ebony's outworld adventure too. It's fun to see them both grow side by side.
Basically 2 species going on the same journey and see what they do differently!
Honestly the real problem is how they handle battle tactics when the time comes, as we remember the Ebony have miniscule fighting experience in the arena, while the Red wood never had a fight at all.
Wonder how they adapt
Why is this so captivating? It's like the best suspense series ever.
It’s very interesting to watch a 18 minute video about ants 🐜
Your work is very appreciated antsCanada
Love watching ants when they just get a best expansion
It’s big for the colony but funny for the viewer
4:37 Anyone else see the nematode in the moss? Thanks for the video!
edit: The little black bumps on the nesting wood are some type of melanic fungi. These are the fungi that disturb me the most as the melanin they synthesize helps them avoid destruction if they start to grow on/into an animal (like an ant or a person). Most aren't obligate parasites of animals, but they're opportunists and can grow in your body. Melanin in fungi is considered a virulence factor. I'd recommend getting rid of the nesting wood.
OMG ANTS CANADA! MY FIRST ANTS HAS FINALLY HATCHED YESTERDAY! I WAITED FOR 3 MONTHS AND NOW FINALLY, THE FIRST WORKERS, THE NANITICS HAVE HATCHED! I bought your ant keeping e book, and I can’t wait to get a great colony of ants. Worker ant size: 2mm
CONGRATS!
Woooooooooowwwwww!!!
congrats
Good luck on raising a succesful colony!
Great job
"This promo continues until January the 1st, 2021"
Everyone thinking this means 2021 2 Electric Boogaloo: *Nonononono wait wait wait wait*
I love the addition of the tsungi horn from Avatar TLA (the Armenian duduk IRL) in the beginning...
a man of taste
I was thinking that it was surprising you didn't add a tiny bit of dirt in the wood so they have at least a starter group of springtails to keep things clean. Hopefully that mold doesn't spread too far before the springtails reach it.
definitely
Yessss i was questioning if the ebony army gets one as well!
I do hope they do!
I like to think that ant that almost got lost is equivalent to finding your home in minecraft when you travelled so far from it
have you considered raising springtails to dump into new colony homes? Could prevent the mold from even starting! could also help give a boost to colonies that need it
If I remember correctly, he does raise springtails but maybe they're in his other house where all the other ant farms & animals are located, I could be wrong though. Haven't seen his other house in a while or even check his old videos & vlog channel. Currently he lives in a temporary house until the new house is ready for him to move in, so he is lacking a lot of his usual tools etc
Man, this is the part that always excites me, seeing the colony expand.
Take a lot of out worlds, stack them together, make a giant habitat for carpenter ants like a log, then drill into it and make a giant chamber in the center. Then put lots and lots of polygenus carpenter ant test tubes. Then giant carpenter ant colony.
I love your ants so much! What funny little creatures!
the ant getting lost is like me playing minecraft and trying to find my house
Who else gets hyped when they see that ants Canada posts
👇
Now rise a new empire… but anyways, I have loved how we can all see these ant journey slowly onto become a thriving empire, seeing sorrows and feeling joys, I can’t wait for their big formicariums!
this channel changed my perspective about ants fr
Absolutely love the outworld you've built for the Redwood Worries! You've inspired me to get one for my Tetramorium colony to build a biodiverse habitat for them! I've been going with fake plants and rocks but this looks so beautiful and important for the ants health! Still absolutely loving this series! #antloveforever ❤
yeah
@THAMI♥️% u gota be kidding me!
@@jadeezekielamoguiscabrera5558 why not just report spam on bot channels rather than replying them, plus I doubt bot channels even see the comments
@@nhanisn k
I love the two ants seemingly braving the new territory but then one of them seems to be like "abort mission" and both go running back home 😂 so much entertainment! I don't know how you'd get anything done owning ant farms.
loving the music at 11:30 so cheerful and festive sounding
That was a long 2 weeks. Worth the wait!
Yes, super sorry! This has been a crazy month and I've been really focusing lately on delivering greater quality in every video. Thank you for being so patient! Ant love forever! ❤🐜
Me eating Chicken tenders
"this is a dead cricket..."
Me not eating Chicken tenders lol
Any random insect in the place- *exists*
The ants- your free trial if life has expired
Thank you so much AntsCanada for making these amazing ant videos! I am new to this channel and to ants, and you have inspired me to start keeping them. You are awesome
Brilliant! i like the way you created the habitat so cool! I wished that you could add more to the habitat.
Finals had me stress but listening to this helped me calm down.
"posted 43 seconds ago"
alright, you've got my attention
have you ever thought about feeding them a crab leg? im sure that would be very interesting to watch one or more of the colonys enjoy. im sure they would all take unique approaches to how they consume it and break it down. might be interesting once everyone is reunited at the ant house
We love you ants Canada but I want to tell you something you and a couple other UA-camrs inspired me to become a UA-camr so I just want to say thank you
i just watch antscanada when i feel stressed coz it makes me forget about everything for a bit
Well worth waiting for, another great little set up.
Did not matter it was late, I enjoyed it!
Well done Mikey..👍
I am a little bit EARLIER THAN expected 🤣 I Love Ant's so much! I even have a colony! She's have 10 workers!!
will you make again the 5 flavor jelly experiment on this hunting ground?
Get this man to 5 million subscribers now this man is awesome
Funny how these ants always seem to make the most movement and do their exploring when they aren't being watched...
I’m literally obsessed with this channel I found it yesterday and I’ve watched so many videos already
Being an aqua scape’r I find these scapes Very Very nice 👍🏽
15:45 since insects and crabs are distant relatives, it probably does so
I love ants so much my favourite is leaf cutters
I don't even know how i stumbled across this channel but i have spent the last several days fixated on your videos, I never knew so much about ants and now I'm endeared by them and want to start a colony of my own
Its great to see these beauties growing so nicely. My big babies, shiny black carpenter ants, are in hibernation right now here in southern ontario so am not really getting to enjoy any growth right now from them, but they are doing good, just checked on them yesturday.
Im really enjoying this latest ant epic of the redwood warriors and im so so so looking forward to what sort of amazing world you create for them in the new ant palace... cause calling it a house doesnt do it justice lol
Perhaps the ants hesitated because they where worried of what kind of predator lived in such a huge living space, and killed something that much bigger than them.
If you’re having trouble getting the ants to move colonies grab a turkey baster and pump the dead cricket pheromones into the ant colony. Usually speeds the process up for me
The music is so bombastic & over the top at the beginning, you can't help but be as excited as AC.
@AntsCanada I'm curious, what is the visual capability of these ants? When they entered the new environment, were they able to perceive the full dimensions of the terraria in relation to themselves, or can they barely sense the immediate space/objects around them?
This would make for a fascinating simulation, or even better a V/R. An Ant exploring it's environment primarily by touch & scent (simulated by visual cues for us primates 😉), with limited vision. Working & interacting with other ants around the colony, exploring outer space, while avoiding predators & other colonies. 🐜
Can I suggest you make a single unit piece of hardware with the nest and outer-world as two zones. The nest is below the outer-world and there are tubes connecting the two zones. I think this would make a great piece of hardware you could setup inside your home. Or, perhaps the nest zone clips together with the outer-world zone (same base size) and the nests and outer-world are modular so you can add multiple layers. If you had a large colony, you could have multiple layers of nest modules, with multiple layers out the outer-world on top. All would have external connectors and only linked by tubes.
I love your Outworld design. Amazing how you could stack them.
I imagine that the tube is like a portal to the ants who were first confined to their home world.
So the Redwood warriors have a an outworld now, talk about awsome 😀 . It looks like their really enjoying it. I hope the best for them in the future and great video as always.
Hey there AC, love the vids! Juuust wondering though, what kind of jelly do you use for ants? Trying to find a solid brand to go for as there's a lot of discussion in the ac forums about jellies for other insects being used for ants so was curious what you were using.
Good question
Man, AntsCanada I just wanted to say, your channel is absolutely amazing. I’ve been watching your channel from time to time since sixth grade I believe (I’m in eleventh now), and it has always satiated my hunger for great ant videos. Thank you for pouring out quality content and sharing it with all of us ant and insect fanatics out there.
I wouldnt be surprised if they were traumatized by the experiment with the other colonies. Maybe thats why they were so cautious.
It's a little weird how often I get advertisements for Pest Control companies before these AntsCanada videos...
"Hey, you like videos about ants! How'd you like us to come and kill them near you by the thousands?"
You are the most inspiring
Why does it feel so special when AC says "Behold"
I'm not surprised they were being so shy about entering the outworld or whatever it was called. Last time you connected them to a larger chamber you unwittingly pitted them into an arena against other fledging ant colonies like gladiators!
This makes me emotional cuz I remember when you first caught this queen. 🥺
For the promo code, I think you mean it's valid until 1st Jan 2022 (you said 2021 at 17min35s in)
Oops! Yes, totally meant Jan 1st, 2022! My bad! Thanks for pointing that out! Ant love forever! ❤🐜
Aayyyyy after watching Exotics Lair's new video, and then AntsCanada uploads too. Awesome!
So outta curiosity, have either of the colonies tried adding to or altering the wooden chunks you gave them for homes? Or are they just fine with what you already carved out?
I was wondering this too.
There workers also seem major-like which I love
Ants Canada always gives the ants that are discovering something completely new, the thoughts of a naive dumb blonde haha "That's funny, this wasn't here before, oh well la-di-da" 😂 but I imagine it to be more like "I srsly must be tripping balls right now, I swear this wasn't here a second ago" 😅
I haven’t watched this channel in years and it’s just as amazing as I remember
So cute, wish I had a colony of ants
Me too giant me too…
@@genzedaph I have one, next year two
I hope you give us a tour of the new place once it's finished and set up properly
First 🥳, great video , really liked it😁
Nope it was me
Lol
Third lol
@@kjaville5664 Guys whos gonna tell him
@@polygonalduck i reset it after i liked and commented so Why dont you stop always taking the easy explenation
I just love when the crimzonia is like a ants park soo cool and by the way I love your decorating ideas
ants are perdy cool
You finally posted
Hi
Hello
I always enjoy watching the creation of the outworlds and terrariums. It's so satisfying 😍
Yo
Me
i love the name you gave the forest and ant name colony
Have you considered using a security camera system? something that logs the last 24 hours on a ssd so you can back track footage in key spots?
I can't believe youtube didnt notify of this video,luckily i checked your channel just on time
Redwood warriors: colony 7
Ebony army: colony 1
I remembered this time, kinda hard to remember two colonies at the same time
My friend decided to hook up the test tube to the Outworld. Well, he also had put in a piece of driftwood inside the Outworld. He has carpenter ants.... the ants left the test tube and moved into the driftwood. Now they are living IN the Outworld.
Ooop
Following this channel has made me much more curious about anta. For instanace, can they see? Can they hear? If you're wondering no they can't hear. But they can see.
Between the hesitant entrance, the ant that got horribly lost (LOL!), and their trouble finding the cricket, I'm kind of thinking this is Colony Derp, ahahaha! I'm rooting for them, they're just a lil shy
That cricket was still twitching a day later, jeez what a trooper lol
@AntsCanada I was thinking, you simulate an ant raid on another nest by using an empty AC Nest and fill it with rice grains and connect it to a colony!
Nerves run on a small electric current and if the current is triggered then the limbs will move . Insects and humans have a similar nervous system ( down to the genetic level) so that will work with recently dead people too
Good information given
I love your chanel so much.i dont know why your not the best youtuber
The lost ant bit was so funny, what a silly little ant lol, love your vids keep up the hard work
ok once i had an ant colony and it was dying, so what i did was i moved it out to the wild with some food and said goodbye
every time i look at the forest i released it too i can see a tiny little any scurry along
You know you have watched AntsCanada too long that you know what sound effects may be used from time to time. When the terrarium was introduced, I was like “when will the sparkling sound come along?”.
I didn’t know you could stack those that’s amazing.
I can't wait to see the experience of you moving into your new house
Your videos are so amazing! The way you narrate them is so calming to me. I hope the Redwood Warriors get the good life that they deserve!
Suggestion: the terrarium put some fancy fish things to make a sort of waterfall in it including a river
a mini waterfall or pond would be so cool
