    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.

      @megalomaniacalHalide Před rokem

      Evolution is like that. A mutation shoves a new idea or a new response to stimuli into them, and if it's advantageous, their strain spreads. Ants always seem to have a 'solution' for things in their environment because they have been in the same environments for tens of thousands of generations, with as many opportunities to randomly find those solutions embedded in their instincts each time they reproduce. Take them out of their native environment, and their 'problem solving' vanishes utterly.

      This comparison can be done for example, in Whales. They have a huge brain but they aren't as smart as humans, because they have a bigger body, so they need more Brain Mass to keep their functions working.

Apparently dolphins have the largest brain to body ratio but I don’t think they are as intelligent as humans. Might have something to do with our peripherals. Thumbs are pretty awesome compared to flippers. Ants do apparently have a large brain to body mass but they are still, individually, pretty stupid. Still, the brain to body mass does seem to have a pretty strong correlation in most cases. Thanks for explaining.

      Yeah, that happened to my sister. Obviously there were no where near enough to hurt her but they completely outlined her body. She had a ton of bites. It was terrible, but luckily she didn’t have an allergic reaction.

      @@hereisaname8567 I have no idea. I guess the ones that are usually invasive in houses but I think that can be a variety. I know we’ve had tiny sugar ants before and then bigger ones (not sure what they’re called) but I was really young at the time of the incident so I can’t be sure.

    Wow... this really has me hoping bugs don't feel pain. That poor slug - but it's the curcle of life.
    Also the ants using soil to soak up the slug's slime is genius! I love watching animals that use tools to solve problems - not many do that, at least that we know of.

    Ants are terrifyingly intelligent... they were helping each other get out the slime, then proceeded to cover it in mud to counter the slime and attacked from underneath

      I think the dirt technically qualifies as tool usage.
