I know the brilliance of BBC to take close shots of the movements of animals, but I am amazed by seeing the movements of ants closely. This video is very informative.
1:32 ok now that's a funny shot 😂😂😂😂
Who would have thought that the world's smallest creatures could take on the giants? This video is a captivating reminder of the intricate balance of ecosystems. Even the tiniest ants have a vital role to play, and the way they interact with these colossal giraffes is both fascinating and humbling. Nature's intricate dance is a sight to behold! 🐜🦒
You're a bot who comments without having seen the videos.
Giraffes are such pretty animals!
Absolutely, giraffes are indeed magnificent creatures with their unique and graceful appearance. They stand out in the animal kingdom for their elegance and charm. Even in a video like "Ants Take on Giraffes," their beauty and presence are captivating. 🦒🌿😊
Giraffes are such beautiful creatures
Thanks BBC earth 👍
We shouldn't underestimate ants! Our crew got on camera ants in Switzerland that use chemicals to defend themselves when it's time to re-establish their territory. It's really fascinating to see it!
Very interesting relationship, an entire ecossystem around a single tree!
My country people ❤so nice to see how endowed our home is with wildlife
I'd like to go on an African safari someday. Such an amazing place
Spiky branches and blisters filled with ants? 🦒 Grub's up!
Intelligence of Nature!
Cosmos is None other than Intelligence !
does anyone know, why would acacias near termite mounds grow larger?
the video suggests that it's because of the nitrogen rich termite mounds, but, acacias themselves are nitrogen-fixing trees, they pull nitrogen out of the air and create sub surface nitrogen nodules on their roots.
is it possible the video has the relationship reversed, perhaps termites build mounds near larger acacias which create nitrogen rich soil?
insects probably defecate and that is rich in nitrogen
This video is amazing!!! Thank you. Love the herbivore standing to eat at the same time. Wow🎉
Wow I just love how this video is detailed...well researched
How convenient! The acacia trees come with toothpicks to get the ants out of your teeth when you're done eating.
Some new research gives very interesting info about what happens in nature. Like ants cut tree leaves and bring them to their home to feed fungi they grow for their own food - ants-bacteria-mushrooms co-operation produces nitrogen which creates good growing environment for trees and other plants too.
You're talking about leafcutter ants from South America, though there are plenty of other ants that do remarkably fascinating things.
The lemon ant, another South American native is a gardener in a different sense. When walking through the rainforest, you'll sometimes come across clearings as large as a baseball diamond or more that are devoid of all plants, save for a single species. These mysterious clearings were thought to be where a devil-like trickster lived by the local tribes, which is a fair, if incorrect assumption considering how crowded rainforests are. It turns out the lemon ants exclusively live on this tree and they have an herbicidal toxin that they inject into other plants that try to move in on their turf; by the end of the day, the plant is dead. The ants also defend and get most of their food from the insects that make the mistake of trying to eat the plants they live on, essentially making them untouchable by anything in the jungle.
Other species of ants actually have livestock that they tend to, much like we do with cows. Usually consisting of various caterpillars and aphids, the ants viciously protect them from anything that tries to eat them in exchange for producing a sugary liquid from their bottoms called "honeydew". The ants will even pick up and move their livestock to greener pastures once they've consumed all the leaves or sap in one area.
All of that is fascinating, as nature really is. However, I am talking about some research findings here in Finland that I read about. Sometimes I have seen mushrooms growing in an anthill. Well this explains it.
@@anneshomeAh, I see! That is interesting - up until now, I only thought leafcutter ants did this! I don't suppose you know the species?
Freshly out from the over (30 mins ago here haha) finally, some nice contents before I sleep
Nature and evolution is like a game of chess
Just constantly trying to checkmate the other species
Elephants: Thorns, shmorns!
Giraffes: Ants, shmants!
The whistling Acacia is an excellent example of mutualism between species.
1:32 just casually standing up like men taking a wee😂😂
Id be scared if i saw that
It's like I have said on other videos, there's no such thing as a pure herbivore or pure carnivore, since the giraffes eat many small creatures on the leaves....
I had a pet rabbit who loved to eat butterflies, as long as she didn´t have to do any effort to catch the butterfly. I guess wild rabbits very often end up eating bugs that happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Gelungenes Video. Gruss Jürgen 🤠
Thank you :)
Person who made the title didn't watch the video first.
Click bait
Well. The ants are still taking on giraffes. It's just that they lose.
Best nature ..
That's actually so cool
It is very informative
Amazing ❤❤❤
People actually believe an invisible idol created termites, two different Acacia trees & specialized ants in a day.
LOL
So, is it the ants or the termites that take on giraffes? 😅
Ants. Termites aren't interested in flesh!! 😅
Unbelievable title.
This was my thought too!
but i cancelled to write any comments or questions!
Did you watch the whole video? Ants come in about halfway through and are well explained how its ants vs herbivores. Just becuase they mention termites…
@@cjbrown5359You didn't had to come for him in a rude manner 🙄
@@YAH-1 is asking if he watched the whole video rude? Especially when that comment is currently the top/highlighted one so everyone sees it. If thats how you view coming at someone you must have a very soft and easy life to live
Even one of these ants can take a toll on my entire existence
Sia..🦒🦌🐘🦓😍!
I am impressed by BBC. Sometimes I wonder whether the giraffes have figured out how to grow themselves taller intentionally. It is very clever of you to notice that trees grow near a termite mound. That makes me wonder what I should be consuming to to have a better chance of reproduction.
Excellent video!
Strong animals
amazing strategies 😎😃
All came from nothing by pure chance....Wow that must take a lot of faith.
This is so incredible, it almost seems made up hahah
The fact that a plant grows an ant hotel so the ants attack whoever damage it.
😮 1:43
Very nice
video compression seems pretty bad
Hello?
It's already Thursday again this week.
I wish you good health and good things for the rest of the week.
And always cheering you on in your beauty/attractive endeavors. ^^
That's amazing
My Future Job i Love this
Misleading title
So, how is it that termite mounds are nitrogen rich?
Click-bait title
What a beautiful symbiosis
This is the first time I've heard of a tree growing next to a termite nest for nutrition which the termites don't actually eat and also produces homes and fruit for ants to combat larger herbivoures yet I thought the ants would be a good source of protein mixed in with the leaves, plus the ants are safe from the ground predators. Nature is wonderful and full of surprises on how everything works together.
How is it possible that symbiosis is inside the DNA
Why does the acacia not want to be eaten? The wildlife gives fertilizer dung in return, not so?
I always thought those black ponds were seeds 😂😂😂😂😂. Kenyan ants are a nuisance. They would invade our house at night. Am glad I can now laugh at this.
😍🥰❤️🙏💪
❤❤❤❤❤
Como
Lol lol lol.
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Wonder what would be a fair share for ant colonies .. How do they sustain life? Differently from their terrestrial/subterranean cousins must be supposed.
It's ants, not a mouse which scare elephants! For such a smart animal, when do they learn to choose ones without galls or to shake off ants?
Ants Takes on Giraffe
*the what?*
Strong animals can save in the jungle 😍
Always wanted to eat termites for some reason
What kind of animal are you?
@Palmetto-J an anteater of some type I believe
@kingdolo23 I asked You what kind of animal are You.
How did the trees survive until they "figured out" to make the Gauls? And how in the world did they know that the ants were going to go in there and do this? You just proved evolution is false
The garden of Eden.
I always think that the main purpose of tree's thorns is to help them reduce dehydration not to protect themselves.
How does a thorn keep it from getting dehydrated? 🤔
In cacti and other desert plants, small thorn like leaves help protect the plant from losing water by evaporation
But here the purpose is different for acacia
Acacia trees very. Great because 40 years back south east Tamilnadu full of this trees but now totally remove then east Indian company puts. Charcoal trees ....Barbarian !? Trouble!
Love this content ....
Just a wee bit longer for each upcoming videos would be great if can plz .thanks so much ..I'd say about 13-23 minutes probably the hot spot IMO if anyone ever was to ask me that's my ²©ęⁿ†
Africa ❤
Nature is amazing
In the name of ALLAH S.W.T the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Say, “He is ALLAH S.W.T the One And Only.
2. ALLAH S.W.T the Absolute.
3. He begets not, nor was He begotten.
4. And there is none comparable to Him.”
Salutations a tous! 😊👍👍👍🦊
❤❤❤
And then along came a 4 meter tall anteater, and the rest is history.
