You do know that this species doesn't even eat wood. Instead they take bits of leaves and dry grass and feed them to a specific kind of fungus which they then eat. They are farmers! Also another thing worth mentioning is that they have been doing this for millions of years and where the first creatures on earth to do so
And if you think we are better architects then think again The world's tallest building (forgot the name of it) took years to make with some of the world's brightest minds to figure out how to make it. Meanwhile if you where shrunken down to the size of a termite the world's tallest termite mound would be more than 3 times taller
@@unknowjlmmind blowing isn't it Also people have recently discovered a land area in Brazil bigger than that of great Britain covered in termite mounds which are all interconnected by tunnels, this means that the all the termites are traveling back and forth between the colonies and are sharing Information with eachother. So basically the worlds largest city was made by termites!
how do they know where to build walls and where to leave openings? aint they blind? why dosnt one termite get it wrong and build a wall in the middle of the main path?
Hi Emily, I'm producing a programme for my country's national channel, and would like to use this video as cutaways, is there any way i can contact you for this?
amazing how they create air tunnels with their own poop and dirt they find, it’s like an ant nest but in the air carefully excavated
if this massive thing took them one day,
imagine how fast they build a pencil thin mud tub to access a home
rip walls and furniture
@@badpiggies988 yeah, these things are crazy fast

If humans were that productive, it would be crazy
my daily walk up to the roof to take a dump on it.
Ever heard of the amish?

How do they cordinate it? Or they have chief engineer of their own
No they communicate using pheromones
how do they know where to build walls and where to leave openings?

the most logical answer is that theyre using pheromones and gases such as carbon dioxide to build mounds
It is so incredibly complicated that we don't fully understand it yet
someone told me that if the ants see one ant building a wall in the wrong place, they kill that ant..

@@hindugoat2302 I do not think that is true
they are 3d printing a nest
I love stuff like this
They termites look like static on a TV in the beginning
