Natural World: Ant Attack
In a quiet patch of forest, life is about to be turned upside down for its animal residents - the ants are coming. Spiders, scorpions and even forest crabs don't stand a chance. As food runs out, the ants, driven on by the ever-hungry grubs in the nest, have no choice but to attack the not so easily defeated termites. Armed with chemical weapons and fearsome jaws that could crush an ant to pulp, they're the ants' toughest adversaries. From the raw terror of battle to the inner-workings of an ant colony, this is television as you've never seen it before.
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.

“what did it cost you”
“everything”

Was it worth it?
Yes😌
Bol!!!!
"I'm gonna f*ck the Queen" xD
I'm glad the cameraman was able to remove his own wings to get into the tunnel also
Indeed an ability only camera men possess
😂😂
😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂
didnt do it himself. this is the bbc. 'health and safty'. there was a crew to aid him

"His job done, he retires from the royal chamber and dies."
I found this line to be funny.
LOL me too but the line "a short but productive LIFE " wth?dwl that's what I don't want!
Lord...lmao dad support his body for the kids
he will have fathered several million.... beats all of us in our evolutionary job
On probation

Ant: damn I’d give my right wing to be with her
He actually laid he's life for it ...
*To nut in het pussy. Nature usually isn’t that romantic
Female Ant: *I heard you wouldn’t*
I wonder when humans will get out of this phase of making a joke about everything but looking at monkeys, we never will.
I did, and gave my heart so she would have a pillow. ; )
That male ant, probably: *"i don't wanna die a virgin"*
LMAO
Shit funny af
They don't live as long as the workers.
@@corvus_armatura7595 Yeah workers are females.Really every type of ants including Servants are females.Males are only drones
That’s crazy to think about; the ants tried to remove his wings so he’d be able to fit through the tunnels to see the queen, and he was able to recognize that and help out
I think they evolved to do that instinctually
@@steveweast475 Nothing to do with that evolution stuff. These creatures have brains, and they think. They communicate, respond to their environment, and adjust to others' behaviour. Just like any other living thing.
He knew because if he didnt do that the ants wouldn't have let him in..
why this ant is very large?
@@mikep11218 Those brains and behavior were created through evolution.
Did you do it?
Yes
What did it cost?

1:03 “He is actually in mortal danger.”
I laughed at the casual way he said it, this needs to be a meme.
Lol the funniest part is he goes through it all and reaches the queen at 2:53 then two seconds later: "His job done..."
He came quick
Story of my life
Seems legit to me :)
Large Male Ant: Exists
All: "ATTACK!"
LMA: :Rips off own wing in act of metalness:
All: "This way Sir, coat rack is on the right, & Queen's Chamber is straight ahead."
this needs more likes lmao
Underrated comment. Push this to the top
Lmao
"Will you be requiring anything sir? We have some lovely appetizers you must try! We do like our food stu- I MEAN The Queen doesn't like a guest hungry!
“Coat rack is on the right”... Lost it😭😭😂🤣
This dude really just traded the ability to fly to get laid
Simp
And only last 10 seconds
He traded his whole life lmao
He traded his wings to die. So he can fly freely now. T^T
Simp
"He is actually in mortal danger"
Proceeds to live.
"He retires from the royal chamber and dies"
King: there is no mortal danger when you are destined to die.
Yeah, but being dismembered and eaten alive by your wife’s kids probably isn’t much fun!
She is gigantic. Wow. Queen bees are usually bigger, but not by much. You can spot them by their length, legs and shape. I didn’t realize queen ants are like ten times the size of workers.
That male was basically as big as her or bigger though
@@Icetea-2000 I'm so confused by this. They barely even look like ants. They have no nuptial flight? The male is huge (Why?)
This is a very weird species.
@@christopherstein2024 The queen is just as large though, it’s the non-queen females that are this tiny.
It’s insects, that’s not at all weird, they work differently from us mammals. One worker ant isn’t supposed to reproduce like any one mammal or vertebrate in general wants, they just work for the colony and die when winter comes
@@Icetea-2000 I know a couple of things about ants wich is why I am suprised. The ants that I am familar with are different.
They have mating flights. All the males have to do is get in the air and give their semen to the queen. For this reason the male ants are usually small compared to the queen. Often they are not bigger than workers. As we can see here the life of the male is not too different but it has to get underground to the queen. So I guess more mass is required to make it past other ground dwellers and the workers of the queen.
The male also looks different from the worker ants aside from size and wings. Almost moth-like. They were called sausage flies.
Males mating with queen with established colonies is also unseen in many ants.
The queen also has a huge abdomen. The proportions are unlike any ant that I have seen. When you look at a honeypot ant with a huge filled abdomen it still looks more like an ant than this wormish queen.
I looked these driver ants up and they are army ants. The queens never fly so they are pretty different form most ants I know. I suppose because of this the queen is able to evolve more toward egg production and all other features are not as important in it's life. Their subfamily (dorylinae) is over 70 million years old. I don't know whether that's old for ants but I can see how they can be so different from other ants. Where I live ants look much more like bees and wasps compared to these ants.
pick your wings back up king. she ain’t the one
lol
🤣🤣🤣
Lmaoo
@@flipskaterdave But they royal. 👑
He gained the status after he removed it and went with the queen. With wings on he'll die as a lowly prince anyway in just a month. That's why the queen has no wings either.
These male ants pullin their wings off for the female ants and I can’t even get a text back
Allison Kojima consider this message as your text back. 😚
@@1SGCarter real smooth man.
13/10
Mister Crisper 26 😎👊🏽😅
Probably because you never pulled off your wings infront of anybody...it only hurts for 5 minutes but it works
I wonder why
"So you're saying you have to choose between a life without sex and a gruesome death?"
"Yes..."
"Tough call..."
Male: Ooooh yeah worth it!
Female: Nice, I'm about to have 300,000 kids - you got that child support ready right!?
Male: Clearly death is the only option, goodbye world!
Queen ant:Well shit
Male: Yeah. As soon you lay the eggs, they'll be there to support you.
Oh.
Urban ants.
Fortunately, those 300,000 kids are born like adults right out of the sac and not only love and take care of her for the rest of her life, but take care of her house and build mansion-like extensions for her. It’s every mother’s dream. She doesn’t need him when the kids ARE the support. 😂
