Ant city

Holy shit. I always knew ants where somewhat... smart, but by hell i didn't think it would be anything on that level.

I for one will welcome our ant overlords when the time comes!

Is it really intelligence when they don't think about what they're doing?

They're impressive creatures of powerful instinct, they aren't smart. I bloody love them but it's misguided to call them clever

Was it an already dead nest? Or did they just pour tons of cement down in to there and kill all those poor ants? ;o

I always imagine ants like non playing characters in a game with someone in charge of them plotting out where to dig, get food and such and they go and do the bidding.

Look at the mud pile about 1:00 in - theres clearly a human skull in that pile...

According to the better quality shorter video of the same clip, it is an abandoned ant nest
