Ants



I guess I've been finding a lot of great videos lately, but this one is a little more serious and absolutely extraordinary. I've always been fascinated with ants. How they can do so much for how small they are. And how, similar to a person alone without any man made assistance, a single ant is practically useless and will have great difficulty surviving. But when an ant is joined he/she can go above and beyond expectations. Not only that, but it is incredible that their impressive means of survival is not just one colonial anomaly. All colonies around the world seem to have this efficient, intelligent, and practical means of surviving and thriving. All over the world ants repeatedly show their advanced skills in survival, team work, warfare, and architecture.

Although I'm not really down with how these scientists destroyed the entire thriving ant colony, what they found in this short clip is amazing.
