      I was fascinated and a little disturbed at the same time. When I was in high school my English teacher showed us an old 50-ish animal horror movie titled "Them!" It's a movie about how some ants exposed to radiation grew to ginormous sizes, made a colony of hundreds more ginormous ants, and the colony spread out across the country attacking everybody. That movie stuck with me for the rest of my life.

    • @whatswong5652
      @whatswong5652 3 роки тому +1

      Ants work together because it’s their instinct to protect and preserve their colony. Most humans are greedy and only care about their own welfare.

    • @empireyouth5791
      @empireyouth5791 3 роки тому +1

      Important to note, The reason they can do this is because Aunt don’t have individuality or personality like humans and other animals, The ants or essentially just drones which is why they don’t have much if any infighting unlike humans and other animals, comparing them to humans would be an unfair comparison since human mind more resemble other mammals like creatures such as wolves or lions (which these creatures do sometimes fight each other for the sake of securing territory for their packs or pride) Also while they have peace with humans have intelligence to realize and discover things these animals will never even see

      Maeve Triste Just Chilin check Holy Quran chapter "Ant"...
      Then check out some Bee videos and check how Holly Quran chapter "The Bee" how the verses describe the bee and its behaviour, then think how a book 1400 year old knew these Scientific facts, and check the Person like Prophet Muhammad who did not read nor write came out with a Book like that, then check the author of the Quran, please do so for your own benefit.🙂😍

    • @khiljinagor8976
      @khiljinagor8976 6 років тому

      Bees find a garden full of good flowers for making honey, come back to their hives and dance arround while others surround the individual bee, its actually displaying a map for the other bees, all worker bees are female, Shakespeare wrongly said worker bees are male. Quran chapter "Bee" describes their action within the hive and refers to them in the feminine.
      All this from a 1400 year old book from Prophet Muhammad who could not read nor write. Also there is a chapter called "the Ant". More interesting facts in Quran about ants, that only through modern tools we got to know them as true nowadays.
