I hope you can also feature the rarest, tallest by length, and the one of the strongest birds of prey the Majestic Mighty Philippine Eagle. Thanks so much! A lot of people should know this type of bird because it is the most critically endangered eagle in the world. Thanks so much!!!
Another, often forgotten, group of insects that are thought to have convergently evolved fungus farming around the same time as ants are termites. This particular group of termites have lost the ability to digest wood on their own, and instead use wood and dead leaves to cultivate their fungus gardens.
These tinies never cease to amaze and inspire us...🐜🐜 No matter what the adversities are, they still don't give up.💪🏻💪🏻🔥🔥 As a child I used to think what were they gonna do with all those leaves. I thought they used it for building their nests. But now I got the secret behind these work.🤘🏻🥳 Thank you Terra Mater for such a great information. And the visuals were just awesome...🥰🥰🤗🤗
They really are mini Hercuuleses 💪 Yeah at first one might think that they carry them to the nest to feed on them right?! You are very welcome 😊 We are happy to hear that you enjoyed it so much!
I've always LOVED ants!!! They are so fascinating to me 😍😍 when i learned as a kid that they can carry 100x their weight i was instantly impressed! & have had mad respect for them since ♡♡ 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
Another amazing video! Always keep looking forward to Terra Mater videos, one of the best part of the day. The producing and videography is stunning. Love from Bangladesh 🖤
@@pundlik9012 yeahh, both countries are blessed with natural wonders and unique biodiversity found only here. Wish to get out of the cities more and visit more nature ☺️ Greetings and regards back to you!!
Ants are such amazing little creatures! The camerawork and storytelling were fantastic in this as well. I'd love to see a video on my personal favorite animal, the jaguar 🐆
They are indeed 🐜 Thank you so much, we really do appreciate your kind words! As you are such a loyal subscriber and viewer you'll not miss it if we upload a video on them 😉
Thank you so much! This is part of one of our feature length documentaries - you can check them out on our website if you like 😉 so it can take many months or years to shoot a whole documentary!
We as a channel don't have a donating feature but a lot of our videos on conservation do, so you can support nature conservation there if you like 😉 Getting to hear such kind words is the best credit we can get - and of course spreading the word about our channel so we can grow even more 😊 because #terramatters
I had heard of leaf cutter ants, but don't remember learning the reason why. I thought they built plugs or use them as building material inside their colonies; was blown away to learn they use it to farm their own fungus to feed on. Amazing ❤️

I am glad to be your 1000th liker to this video. Always waiting for it. They (these ants) are soo full of life and intelligent. Glad I found this channel a year ago when it had near to 100K subs and glued to it since then. Animal world and amazing nature makes me inquisitive for our mother earth and I would'nt leave it even if all humans end up on mars someday. Greetings from land of elephant headed god-Ganesha (India)
All of this is awesome but the craziest part i find is that they have a damn daycare center. I honestly just thought larvae crawled around and fed themselves 🤯
So...how did ants figure out farming millions of years before us? I watched this video for an answer to the question in the title. Instead you tell us how they farm today, not how they figured it out millions of years before us.
I have found that a good measurement of these videos is the *WOW* factor - in other words - How many times I say *..wwWWOOWww* Your vids are always on the higher end of that scale -
i hope you will read it, as a youtube video consumer of the top nature/science channels i have to say this: you have to pump up your game guys. your stories are not new enough and the way you tell them is a little bit dull. take a look at deep look, or even animalogic for example to how to tell a fresh story in an engertic way. your videos are nice, but they lack better music, better tempo, better writing. i hope you take that into consideration
We love the fact that ants figured out farming millions of years before humans. 🐜
Do you know other surprising facts about ants? Let us know!
Their teeth move 1000x a SECOND ?!!? 😳😳
@@HelloAllie That's jaw-dropping, right? 😮
@@terramater pun intended!
They are great tracker. And most important creatures on this planet even more important than humans 🙏
you know what they say its the small things that matter🍃🐜🌳
The toad’s entry is nothing short of a Hollywood production!
I love this comment! 🥰😆
@@HelloAllie We too!
@@HelloAllie same lmao
A toad is a demon for an ant.
A cat is a demon for a canary.
@@gustavosauro1882 depends on which species of ant. If it were army ants the toad would be a mere morsel of food
the Story telling on this is just amazing
Thanks a lot Francis, nice to hear that! 🤗
Ant: "I'll cover for you guys! Get the leaf some place safe!"
Toad: *mlem*
The story telling and the background music is like watching a movie.
That is great to hear, thank you! We are always trying our best to give you the most cinematic feel 😉🐜
This channel's content is just soooooo good
Thank you so much Nicolas! 😊
Great video! You mentioned that their nests are safe from flooding, I think a video on how they do that would be interesting.
I was hoping it would be in this video
I hope you can also feature the rarest, tallest by length, and the one of the strongest birds of prey the Majestic Mighty Philippine Eagle. Thanks so much! A lot of people should know this type of bird because it is the most critically endangered eagle in the world. Thanks so much!!!

Easily one of the most fascinating insects to me, the behaviora of creatures that live colonies are just so complex!
They truly are amazing! So small but so complex and kind of mysterious still 🐜
Ants are such amazing little creatures! The camerawork and storytelling were fantastic in this as well. I'd love to see a video on my personal favorite animal, the jaguar 🐆

I've seen this channel grow from a few hundred subscribers to 333k now, great work you guys are doing
Wow Dylan that is AMAZING - such a supportive subscriber! Thank you so much, from the whole team 🥰
Cinematography and Editing ...Both are top notch......In how much time did u guys shoot it.....
Thank you so much! This is part of one of our feature length documentaries - you can check them out on our website if you like 😉 so it can take many months or years to shoot a whole documentary!
How did you shoot inside the colony.....amazing work❤
There are special Probe Lenses that are long and thin and they are especially made for environments like this one 😉
I'm curious. How did you get this footage? Did the ants attack the person taking the footage?
Same here
Thanks for an amazing upload! Love these 👍 your footage is very professional! 🙂👌 subscribed for a long time now, never cease to amaze! 😎
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 We really do appreciate them so much within the team - this is what keeps us going and motivated 💪
Humans: we are the first alive being to discover farming
Ants: im gonna have to stop you right there
4:18 Also ME "Obviously not interested in vegetarian food." And the way kinda flicks away the lone leaf lmao

They figured out the lorry drive problem.
Such an awesome channel!

Wow that is such a beautiful saying 🤩 you once wrote it under another video right? Because I took a screenshot and shared it with our team 😊
Was the cameraman an ant too?
How did the camerama recorded these clips?
And another question
Do other ant species attack these ants?
Amazon: The Great Place for Wildlife ❤
That is true 🤩
4:16 That heavy metal music in the background xD

Other Ants in the Safety of the Nest during rain : Thank You for your Sacrifice and Service!
🥲
How do they get the camera inside the anthill and not attract any attention from the ants there (they go about their stuff as if nothing happened)?
How do they stop the rainwater flooding their nest???
Wow! Love this channel's videos 😍
The ant videos are the best!
In Bangladesh people do fishing with that fungas.. I feel now it's a little brutal.
What an amazing story!
All of this is awesome but the craziest part i find is that they have a damn daycare center. I honestly just thought larvae crawled around and fed themselves 🤯
How are there colonies save with so much rain?
Moreover, they don't destroy the nature around them by doing so, unlike some other uncultured species I know. Amazing creatures!
Brilliant 💚
Thank you 😊
How deep are there nest
So...how did ants figure out farming millions of years before us?
I watched this video for an answer to the question in the title. Instead you tell us how they farm today, not how they figured it out millions of years before us.
Great one !
Thank you Johann 😊
Worlds most ancient civilisation of farmers. Wow
60 million years and rain messes them up? hrm. been raining for a LLOOOONNNGGGG time not to worked out that weak link in the work flow.
How could the ant's colonies be safe from rain water and flooding?
Amazing.
Thank you Erwin 😊
Top notch channel
This is like a freakin company of some sorts. I mean ants inc.
Ants use aphids as livestock as well.
Coincidentally rips of the Deep Look video?
THEY GOT OTHER ANT'S RIDING SHOTGUN KEEP THE. FOOD COMING
so they're the ant lumberjacks
Interesting way to see it :D
I am amazed how this has been captured 🔥 would be better and more helpful if you please share its behind the scenes story ❤️ GG Lads
I have found that a good measurement of these videos is the *WOW* factor -
in other words - How many times I say *..wwWWOOWww*
Your vids are always on the higher end of that scale -
Wow!! Incredible
giving ants canada a run for their money
This is sooo interesting
Glad to hear that 😊🐜 We think so too
Interesting
Vegetarian ants...amazing!
Subhan Allah
Magnificent
Who else here is in need of Sir David Attenborough to keep watching it and be fascinated.
Hi MARLON! He's really amazing!
Ants founded civilisation way before humans did. Awesome.
tbx
this music kinda slaps
This video is awesome five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing I got to know all this from a game

Shame on humans for cutting down the forests.
The world is more beautiful and interesting but this is beyond human reach!

Amazing
Subhanallah
How about slave owning ants? That will be an interesting future video.
