Title: Ant Hill
Post by: JuST Peter on June 21, 2012, 11:44:31 AM

This is incredible, great viewing and learning!

     

    Ant Hill

    This is an amazing video of an ant hole that was filled in with concrete and dug up to see what it looked like. Very interesting and video is short.


    Something to think about the next time you stick a water hose in an ant hill and try to flush them out. Fascinating!

I've decided that if ants ever get round to designing a motor bike, I want one.

It'll be bloody huge but what a piece of engineering.

Termite nest are quite amazing, as they are engineered to to have ventilation for cooling.  A few million years of experince seems to pay of for survival.

Astonishing that such sophisticated intelligence can exist in such a tiny organism.
