Natural World: Empire Of The Desert Ants
Against the Chiricahua Mountains of southern Arizona, Empire of the Desert Ants takes an in-your-face look at the violent world of desert honey ants by charting the fate of a single colony over several years as they battle all-comers for survival and dominance over the small patch of desert that is their world. Both the big picture and every minute detail are captured in this dramatic and fascinating film using the latest camera techniques and visual effects. Macro-photography shows the heart of their epic confrontations and the very core of life in the honey ant colony. Battle plans, defensive strategies and 'team' tactics are presented using the latest battlefield technologies. Also revealed are parallel worlds dominated by hidden forces - chemical weaponry, ultra-sonic sound, pheromones, ultra-violet and polarised light - as well as detailed characterisations of the different members of the colony.
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.

Peta: animals are better than humans because they dont have wars
Ants: hold my decapitated queens head...
If peta could see this
This is always an argument that baffles me. Nature is violent and unforgiving.
they're still far less brutal than any human wars tbh. humans are peak savagery
I'm only here to enjoy the facts of life and the wonderful comments. Sorry not sorry peta. Grow up 😂
I understand PETAs cries a bit but they are a bit radical. I do believe currently animals do need to be treated better similar to native ways where you only kill what you need and you respect the animal. Also there are WAY too many human beings on the planet which as your all aware probably, has a massive impact on housing... Jobs....too much meat being made...etc etc
PETAs too extreme but there are other ways to help the planet unlike paying for ads on public transit showing us bloody animal heads and shit....
They could use that money to lobby in courts to change legislation around animal treatment...
Instead they yell at us..
Ant Queen: Help! They're eating her then they're gonna eat me!
Cameraman: Nice
Ant Queen: OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!
Now where have I seen this comment before???......hmmm
LETS GET HER OUT ONTO A TRAY

When you realize emotions are the only thing stopping humans from doing stuff like this
Indeed, well developed SELF-CONTROL and RESTRAINT ,
A skill of observing and directing your fluctuating Emotional moods is - THAT skill thet
" stops humans from doing those things" .
That's why children from single mothers are filling the prisons,
as they never learned properly to control their Emotions properly,
and they learned by observation to impulsively Act based on emotions.
And laws/consequences
Humans have already done this, thousands of times
@@taxult Yep, humans have been torturing, killing and eating each other for thousands of years. We are animals too.
We just stop at feeding their children their corpse. Everything else though...
I always wondered: how do they manage to record the inside of an ant hill so well?

Contary to popular belief antqeens actually have nothing to say. Ant colonies are controlled by instinctual majority mechanisims which are based on comunication and coordination.
On laymens terms they could be best described as *Democratic, Socialist robots* .

Damn....I'd pay to watch this if it was made into a movie...with all the revolts, the mutiny, the wars and battles for territory and the overthrowing the head of the kingdom plus making her babies feast on the corpse.... Got more plot twists than Game of Thrones
Not forgetting the epic commentary !!!

I've been saying the same about Lions too
you should see "rise warriors ape"
Made into a movie? It's alrdy a full documentary so basically a movie the name is even in the title of this vid...
@@kennethsatria6607 bro u got lion king
That’s so weird, so it’s like...basically the queen isn’t even the one in control lmao
No, not really. The nest is a self-regulating superorganism where none of the ants have much individual pull over the events. This includes the queen. A misbehaving or wandering queen will be dragged back to the chamber and the workers care for the queen out of instinct, not out of obedience or by command.
Miska Kopperoinen oh wow, you learn something new everyday :o
@@miskakopperoinen8408
They are relatively free but they can't achieve much on their own. If the rest of the colony has a different opinion their efforts will be meaningless. When ever a colony moves there are always some ants who disagree and carry the larvae back to the old nest. But at some point the last ant with that opinion will find themselves bringing larvae to a chamber that has been emptied of all its brood and realize that there's no point. The ants live in a society...
It’s 4am and this is what I’m choosing to watch lmao
Same lmfao,got pulled into watching lots of these
I get freaked out by insects, why am I on a Game of Ants binge
Because you like getting freaked out?
Ant social structure is much more complicated than I initially thought.
UA-cam recommendations has united us. Let the mutiny begin...
There are many things to talk about this amazing documentary. Ants live like some human kingdoms. The narrator's voice is from another world. The Choice of words are amazingly tense - "Deadly significance" "Coming trials" "Darker side of the honey ants" "Killing spree" "Events have taken a darker turn" "A royal carcass"
every queens a gangsta until the ants start crunchin on them
How many times must these guys say “long live the queen!”
this is a bruh moment

No fuckin right this is bruh moments
It always feels like watching Orcs vs Uruk-hais fight. They are fascinating
LOL..i love jeremy iron narration on this..."tensions on the rise..jostling in the royal court..."
A little fun fact - queen ants can live up to 30 years old
That's fun?
@@winstonsmith11 it's though, well of course only if the queen didn't suffer the same fate like the one that didn't manage to live till her old age~
Unless they get beheaded.
So there are theoretically queen ants out there that have been kicking since 1989/1990? That is disturbing as hell.
This one didn't.

Nice camera work so detailed 🐜
I'm not an ant but I can tell that the queen's last words were "Let them eat cake!"
Ant Revolution
What's funny is she probably never even said that and it was probably propaganda spread by the revolutionaries to kill her lol
@@114bleachfan On the contrary, the workers probably told the queen that her low egg productivity was making it hard to work with her and that she could no longer be part of the colony.
What’s also odd is how they added foley sounds there probably aren’t any real sounds
Yes that creepy crawly sound I was thinking the same thing we can do without the sound
One of my favorite documentaries, I have the whole thing ...it's just so soothing to listen to -- the documentary part, not the butchering
How the fuck they film this ?
They need this guy to narrate space shows - would be quite sinister sounding when he starts talking about the hidden dangers of the other planets
Edited this comment so no one will know why it has so many likes 😈
paid actors obv
Danny Nguyen paid actors
Many pathetic people who film nature documentaries these days plan everything out by bringing animals together using artificial methods. I wouldn't be surprised if they placed all of the cameras in an abandoned ant mound, or created their own mound and then brought 2 ant colonies to it so that they would fight.
It's all animated bro
