About World's Deadliest:
World’s Deadliest Predators is a new series that looks at most riveting moments of animal predation, breaking down the struggle for survival and supremacy into five action-packed episodes. Top Hunters focuses on the most feared animals in their class: animals at the top of their food chain; the hunters who are prey to no other animal. Killer Packs illustrates when predators multiply their advantage over prey by banding with others of their species to hunt. Lethal Weapons shows that the physical attributes and built-in concealed weapons have the ability to make an animal a top predator. Our Superpowers episode focuses on the animals that see, hear, and smell better than any others…and that relative to their size on are the fastest and strongest creatures on the planet. And whether it is over food, territory or sex, animals go to war within their species and against other species…Battles dissects these conflicts, from the strategy to the play-by-play. These five episodes bring together dozens of species, which are extraordinary, savage, and the World’s Deadliest Predators.

I love how that spider was dangling on that web line and chilling out of harms way and how that cricket-looking thing remained motionless, knowing what they were up against. Some insects and arachnids are smarter than they are given credit for.
As humans, we are damn lucky ants don't grow to over a foot long. If they did, there would be a lot people and animals getting attacked and eaten alive, on a daily basis.
LOL
If ants grew over a foot long, then I assure you the #1 priority for mankind would be to eradicate them all from the face of the Earth. Foot-long ants would be like having your yard infested with 10,000 rabid dogs every day: it would be intolerable.
Army ants versus human intelligence, no contest. I estimate we could make them extinct within a decade if we wanted to no matter their size.
There are giant wasps in Asia that kill people
droid Despite our intelligence and destructive nature humanity has not managed to wipe out a single speices of insect so far so I would not count on it
Spider and Grasshopper:
Dont fucking move
Don't fucking move.
Oh my fuck don't move
HOLY SHIT DONT MOVE

No, but could happen
No one is lost, thanks to the invention of FLAME THROWER babbay! Booooum!
And people think spiders are scary...
Well spiders can see
+Miguel Adames spiders usually have 8 eyes but mostly have poor eye sight so...
+Miguel Adames spiders are actually almost blind, they focus on sound and movements, thats why if you see one and bump the table or anything they run away
You're right. I'm not sure why they would have eight eyes since they're mostly blind (unless all eight are used to combine each different ocular sight into one big picture like a fly's eye), but spiders are very blind indeed.
+Lucas Davis not jumping spiders
Grasshopper: "Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit..."
Spider: *heavily breathing* O,,O'
those little bastards ate my Tuesday suit let's say I gave them eternal sleep
Looooooooooooool
Based Since Death-1998 Born-1998 I gave them the KAME HAMEHA

Ants seem pretty harmless when u see it around your house but when you see them like this in groups or army, it's terrifying. I feel like something crawling under my skin.
I've always wanted a free-for-all between Army Ants, Red Fire Ants, Driver Ants, & Bullet Ants

HUGE props to the cameramen, 'cause they risked their lives to get this footage
Army Ants are too OP. report for hacking.
Oh no. They ddosed the server!
gigas81 god please nerf army ants
Genie:plz no
Army ant: *more power*
It’s not hacking, but they spent SO MANY F**KING STAT POINTS on group coordination and attack. It’s within the realm of the rules, but they still need to be nerfed.
God please tournament ban
1:25 lol. That grasshopper face to face with that ant. Don't move!
Did anyone else get the feeling of something crawling on you the whole video?
+Jesse Goodwin Hell yes.
+Jesse Goodwin
YUK, knock it off! Oh, word-joke. "knock 'it' off" XD
my hair came over my face and I almost died! lol
+Jesse Goodwin I DID ;-;
Yes
am pretty sure that beetle is bigger than 6 ants
ikr
+OmNomNomNomNom What is this? A beetle for ANTS? It needs to be at least... 6 times as big!
6 times bigger is not the same as 6 ants bigger
+OmNomNomNomNom Also, slaves didn't build the pyramids, farmers on their off season did.
888kabe 1 ant 6 times as big would be equal to as big as 6 ants...
It's amazing that some of the potential prey for the ants is capable of understanding that the ants can't find them if they don't move.
Genius grasshopper
I would love to know what that "grasshopper" or whatever, was thinking. He had that "Holy Crap" look.
Grasshopper is like " I NEED TO FART SO BAD I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I CAN HOLD IT IN MY BELLYS ACHING "!
He must be like : "Hell why did I leave my room again ?"
Just like me actually : big thanks to National Geographic on giving me one more reason to stay inside :)
Ollie it's an oak leaf grasshopper.
Imagine how much time it took for evolution and intinct to kick in for the grasshoppwr to know. That it has to stay still around these ants.
"This beatle is 6 tines the size of one ant"... was I the only one not getting that calculation??? Cuz that Brattle looks atleast 40x
i think it refers to the length
oooo
Ce Ce Yeah
Ce Ce b.
size of one ant x size of one ant x size of one ant x size of one ant x size of one ant x size of one ant
I wonder if they ever bite their fellow ants just by accident
same
If done enough, they would be labeled a 'team-killer'.
If its one of their kind they dont attack unless injured.they smell eachother trough the antennae and are able recognize the smell of their brethen
That is why army ants are harmless against another colony of army Ants.most of the time the two just ignore eachother
*”sorry bro I forgot to turn off friendly fire”*
Normally the complex system of pheromones in ant colonies would prevent that.
There is power in numbers. I believe the ant understands this more than any other organism on Earth.
Name the ants please. Every single one of them.

An army ant combined with a bullet ant, now that would be fucking nightmare fuel.
I will notify my brothers
O my gawd
ly awesome!
If Camponotus saundersi was big enough, we'd definitely be fucked.
No arguments there.
ants are gang members...
koban4max that isn't a gang, that's a unified army
it's a gang..to kill anything that gets in their way.
koban4max gangs are small. armies are huge, and their attacks are well coordinated (the ants have scent trails and scouts)
fine...it's an army.
koban4max an army of gangs! :D

Why aren't the rest of the bugs as smart as those two where??
that spider looked pretty trippy
+KinghtofZero00 Are you able to stay completely still for 1 entire day? Remember, that time travels faster for the insects down there.
They weren't ready they thought they could take on a army and tell his scorpion freinds about it but he didn't survive and died to tiny ants

I Love Ants. I have always been fascinated with them since I was a kid. I would sit by the ant hill and watch them work. I knew that trying to make it out in the world was tough so I would always feed them.
Imagine if the ants from A Bug's Life were army ants. They would literally tear the grasshoppers apart.
To be fair if army ants were in A bugs life everyone would be dead
Tbh even workers would kill them@@wxles
1:37 Holy fucking shit, holy fucking shit, holy fucking shit, i hope they don't see me, holy fucking shit
It’s crazy to think how other insects actually learn to not move around army ants.
We need more of those people who poor molten aluminum in ant hills.
bad thing is that these guys don't have a house or a hill. The scene in Indiana Jones 4 is not correct where they take the human into their colony. These guys actually work like bandits, continuously on the move never stops. This is why if these guys come into human houses, the residents must leave the house for at least a week otherwise they, too, will be eaten alive.
Why kill ants?
+sparklingmsp good luck killing army ants
I'm sitting here with my legs covered in fire ants' bites and just shivering while watching this video.
+Anna Path GG.
i want to make you quiver
Can someone explain how the cameraman films this without getting fucking obliterated by the ants?
very carefully
a long stick with the camera attached
They have a robotic arm for this.
***** he uses drone he will be controlling the drone far away from the ants
***** High quality cameras that many cameramen use can zoom up close as if you are right there while watching from a distance. Also sometimes they place several cameras in a area hoping to catch something, which can take several days or more.
Tht cricket was like "Oh shit bad time to hold this fart"
fuck zombies, this is what will cause the apocalypse right here

+Jiangzell Ants are very much alike bees just ants are underground and bees below ground. They both have a rank or job system based on age and the need of the colony. All hail The QUEENY😘
+ShermanB LaCost oops bees r above ground

Wow ants are dicks
It would be interesting to see the results of two army ant colonies migrating into the paths of each other.
Funnily enough I think they move past each other since they don’t really get much food from attacking each other
Did you get an interview with one of the ants? :^)
Lol
He tried but all the ant would do is vigorously attack the camera lens :c
PresidentStorm he got it better than the cameraman
Thanks for posting. Army Ants are considered one of the deadliest creatures in the world.
Fun fact they can and will eat people given the opportunity
Imagine ants are the same size of a cat or mouse :O
Imagine the U.S. Soldiers used these against enemy's that would be really cool if they trained army ants.
Sacrifice The Ants Not Our Troops!

That awkward moment when you watch these ant videos and suddenly... you feel little animal movement throughout your body...
there are no hxh references so OMLLLLL THE CHIMERA ANTSSSS IS COMIN
Wonder how the cameramen captured these shots without getting attacked themselves.
I wouldn't get near those things for anything.
1:25 Smart guy :))
every insect in this video: NO I IDNT MEAN TO GET IN UR WAY, PLZ SPARE ME!!!!
Ants: well ur dead anyway
Who else needs to sctrach their leg every so often after goning through a insect marathon on TH-cam?
getting bitten by a Fire ant alone is a pain in the ass, considering their soldiers like to grip on tightly with their jaws and never let go (even if you rip their body off, their head will still clench on, tenacious bastards). Now imagine getting bitten by THESE ants. the pain alone would be impossible to ignore and probably excruciating.
i think the soldier ants are used to close wounds, they bite the wound shut then you rip the body off making a kinda stitch
Tommy Nelson
I guess the pain in the wound is greater than the pain they cause XD still, that's pretty cool, think of them as a natural stitch.
Tommy Nelson You're totally right there dude! It's what tribes use to close wounds ;)
Scott Lister Now the only thing to do? Withstand the bites over and over again. xD
I've heard that there are a like million ants for just one human being. these things are scary.
And worst they are everywhere
2:45, jump into that. Pretty sure that's one of the worst ways to go
PkNess97 People have no imagination... I was thinking that the worst death ever would be having some nasties immobilizing you with stings, and burying their babies in you, and all over your body, and having them eating you alive as they hatch.
Indiana jones
Fire pls... Or flame thrower plssss
I guess It's super effective
what if they come across a ant eater? what are the ants gonna do the opposite? eat the ant eater?

1:25 I turned on captions, it says "OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH FUCK"
Am i the only one who felt something running up their legs while watching this...?
So essentially, army ants are like T-rexes? Lol
We need them for Minecraft
lol
or a minecraft sequel with more options
I ahmed That would split the community I think.
go away minecraft nerd
LongbowsMAC no just no
Actually army ants are more like rome than the mongals due to the fact that they move stuff and make path ways,kinda like roads to make the next army that's sent out have an easier time traveling
my mom:ants are not scary they are too weak ants:
Y'know I used to think lions or bears were right under humans in the food chain, but it's videos like these that show me otherwise. It's almost frightening how close alike humans and ants are. We both have agriculture, we both have "cities," and we both do a lot of damage to the environment. I'm curious as to how smart ants actually are.
+Andrew LaMore Ikr, i think we as a species just lucked out so much with our size. To actually have an idea that there's more beyond Earth. We get to experience these things or at least know about them but then again there are some micro organisms that visit space...so yeah.
They don't damage it as much as become part of it. While fire ants invade a foreign ecosystem, that's a different case. Army ants belong in their home and have a huge part of the ecosystem
Aleks Gorlik I think with modern feminism that isn't the case anymore...

Holy crap that spider! That was pretty neat that he figured out what was going on and escaped.
Imagine being eaten alive by one million of these ants.
mmh not a pretty dead, uhh I feel some movement on my left foot....
These army ants 🐜 are the great example of hard work😓 and active
LOL that grasshopper bug just chilling there praying the ants won't detect him
Damn, those got more weapons than US and China combined.
Who here would pay $20 to see a PPV show, 1 hour long, where 4 death-row convicts(all murderers) were executed by being eaten alive by army ants?
I would!!!
Click UP if you would.
i'm going to hell "upvotes"
THAT would be epic
i would if it was just you
That's excessively cruel.
sega310982 would rather watch them getting stung by bullet ants, at least that way you probably show it on tv lol
How to make an army of ants more scary? Create a group called Army Ants.
Wouldn't touch the floor out of my house.. Because there is a nearby rainforest :O
Army ants versus Bullet ants who wins?
African Driver Ants too
Bullet ants are bigger and have a deadlier bite but their colonies number in the 100s while the Army ants go into the thousands and they attack in units in most cases. Bullet ants would dominate if they fought Army ants one on one but if they go up against a group then even worker Army ants can take Bullet ants down.
5H4K490 army ant colonies go upwards of 25,000,000
People let the swarms into their swarms. They dont really attack people and the dont stick around, but they kill everything in the house. Its awesome
Ants vs Humanity.....Humanity wins because deadly bug spray.
You better have a loooottttt of spray
+Cole Lutz We have boots.
+Czesnek 1 boot on average kills about 4 ants. Multiply by 7 billion.
28 billion ants is nowhere near the weight of all humanity.
+Kevin Huynh we have flamethrowers, ants will never be a problem, just use a small portion of women hair spray... and boom, you have a flamethrower ;)
+RANDOMNATION! If you're completely surrounded in an open field by an army of these guys...I don't think that can of Raid is going to quite cut it. Maybe if you stand still for hours on end.
something is on my leg
That moment when you watch this in bed and start feeling something crawl on your leg
When are they going to make a game where you can control a colony of ants and manage them? It would be the coolest game ever amassing your armies and raiding other any colonies in the rain forests of south America while also being attack by giant insects like beetles and bee's! That would be amazing!
That would be fun
Empires of the undergrowth
This is why Togashi chose ants :D #hunterxhunter
foreals!!
The best way of getting rid of ants outside your house is......pouring a large pot of far boiling water.
i keep imagining flamethrower
The army ants are nearly blind, like the Mongolians
Ants are freakin amazing! Always remind me of the movie Aliens! Strategic, slave like, army force! Holy shit! Gotta find that Predator??
My question is..how did they get this footage? What is the camera man wearing?
my awnser is MAAAGIC!!!
Slaves didn't build the Pyramids though.
Ants built the pyramids
Laborers
Except they did. I was there
Ikr? Everyone gets it wrong, it's well paid and fed freemen, and it's only 15,000 who or less who build pyramids, Egypt didn't have 100,000 slaves in all of Egypt.

This is your song!
Thank you ANTS!
I'm not sure which type of ant it was (probably this one, I know nothing about ants) but one time my uncle dared my dad to get bit by a single ant from the ant hill near my uncles house. My uncle knew about their destructive power, but my dad sure didn't. You may think "Just one ant" but oh no... when my dad got bit he really felt the pain and when he tried to swipe the ant off, it hung on so tight on him that all he did was create a scratch from a single ant bite. That single ant put up a good fight I'd say. Creating a 6 inch long scratch when you try to swipe it off, jesus... He really didn't wanna let go.
Get a shipping container full of them and drop them over enemy base camps.
They'd get out of the containers and attack your plane.
damn nature you scary
I wish i had an army of ants to clean my room.

slaves didnt build the pyramids !
oh but they did:)
a slave is someone who is entirely under the domination of others' influence, so yes people who built the pyramids would consider slaves...unless you think the pharaohs and their royal families personally built it.

and i say they didnt..nuf said .
Some slaves did and others did as well through the loyalty to their Pharaoh.
