Ant 1: We need to make some pathways. Ant 2: Why? Ant 1: So we have somewhere to walk while we're making pathways. Ant 2: Your logic is impeccable and we should begin at once.

Anyone notice how they started using the sand to make a grave yard and bury the dead ones I just found that really cool that it shows how similar we are.
That's just where they store their trash to keep a clean nest and get rid of the sand they're taking out. They don't usually 'bury' their dead, just discard them with the rest of the garbage the colony makes away from the nest so it doesn't draw in predators ^^
@@willothewisp2980 are you sure mine bury the dead in sand but they passed away already rip I let some workers free after the queens died and I’m pretty sure they repopulated somehow because I’m seeing them again
@@gatsbietheweirdo9403 Some species keep their trash inside the nest, but most just dump it outside. If they do bury it it's probably by coincidence lol Also depending on the species, I would doubt that since they need a queen to repopulate or they just die out naturally
@@arkdraellhelldrake4079 I don't really think that's typically what happens, but what it could be is that the ants were a kind of ant that uses something called a gamma-gate, which basically means that when a queen dies, the most dominant worker ant assumes the responsibility of the queen and becomes one as well as multitasking as a worker.
This really shows how the ants have such a great idea of depth perception. To build the tunnels alongside each other without meeting is pretty amazing to watch.
I find it fascinating that you can see where they put all the dead ones. (Bottom right) incase anyone didn’t know ants release a hormone when they die which means other ants know they’re dead and put them in basically an ant graveyard. I saw an experiment where someone put the hormone on an alive ant and it took itself to the graveyard (once the hormone was gone it returned to doing alive ant stuff dw)
A lot of insects rely on chemicals and hormones rather than sight but there are some exceptions like murder hornets can recognize faces of people and tell other hornets
This may be incorrect. I thought they don't release a pheromone. They die and lay unnoticed until the acids build up and create an odor that the others notice
When man still had a tail and was sleeping on the tops of trees to stay away from predators, these mfs already had hundreds of thousands of years having perfected their craft 😎🤘
@@pascal590 That might actually be the case. It would be called The "mere exposure principle," but either way, I don't the pyramaids needed mere exposure to be majestic. Also, I assume not all types of sand form the same angle as dry egyption sand that they modeled off of.
@ 3:22 does anyone know what the ants are doing on the right side of the screen. Its like they are all sitting around a big banquet table or a board room table. They form these symmetrical ovals. Very curious. If anyone knows what they are doing, please let me know. So beautiful!
Ants have developed enough to learn how to build and play roulette and blackjack. I can’t see which they’re playing but it’s definitely one or the other
Wow, it’s satisfying and amazing to see ants digging. It just feels like i’m one of them. Amazing content bro! Keep on going, you can become famous someday.
I wonder if there is someway of tagging ants so you can keep track of the same ants visually during this. Like, do the diggers take a grain of sand and haul it themselves all the way to the dump? Or do they have a conveyor system. The diggers hand off to haulers, maybe a chain of haulers that move it while they mostly stay in a small part of the tunnel as individuals? I'm just curious how they organize around the task. They are ridiculously efficient.
It is very important to notice that they actually stopped digging once they reached the desired goal. That's impressive IMHO... If there were humans they kept on digging till they had no sand left at all but just a big empty sandbox.
It seems there are a couple of dead ants on the "waste disposal" in the lower right. I find that interesting, that they actually leave them there and not "recycle" them.
that's an ant graveyard usually there is fungus there were they can harvest it and the dead bodies are disposed there so the minerals can go to the fungus
You can see the dump/graveyard they built on the right. This is actually a common feature of most anthills, they need a place far from the colony to dispose of dead bodies and trash. Keeping such a thing too close to a healthy colony can spread disease
fascinating that they had the foresight to bury the dead ants on the right of the screen, noticed the 2 dead ants and they naturally used the incoming sand to bury it and keep it sanitary
@Brennan Shy ants keep their nests as hygenic as possible by having designated areas to poop and bury the dead, if you watch the right, while digging they move 2 corpses in the pile and they bury them, likely to prevent the decaying body from spreading bacteria and mold
You can clearly see that, the middle of the sand pile is the highest. Meaning that ants themselves mojarily do what's easiest. Even *ants sometimes don't give damn.*

doesn't this show how smart ants are? if you think about it they could've piled the sand into a corner but instead they piled the sand in a certain way such that the pile would reach the entrance of the huge sand thingy so that they wouldn't waste too much energy going to the bottom

Looks like the ants are about to make a mass breakout at the top edge towards the left. Also - what the hell is that crazy sh*t going on with the columns of ants descending from the holes on the left @ 3:27 ?

Same with eggs, didn’t see a queen in this video but usually there’s a queen chamber and they take the eggs to a separate chamber
When they reached the boundary, one said "okay, our world is flat"

The ants built a pyramid in the big room, its basically the closest thing to ant religion
Where else would the ants dump the sand they took out lol
BootsMcNab it was a joke
Funny enough, the Pyramids slope angle was designed to be the same that sand naturally slopes at. They probably thought it would be the most stable.

Funny how they move such a huge mound of sand outside the nest and then don’t dig into that mound at all
They would think its not safe because its outside their main nest, idk why but thats just them
Maybe they dropped, "don't dig here pheromones"
To lose I had some try
Maybe it’s too loose because they’ve pulled out individual grains and dropped them there?
yh but where would they but the sand from the mound of sand

I don't see it
This is so relaxing to watch! Ant love forever!
I imagine that ants have their own language, and while they were making the pathways they were talking about the structure and where to dig and stuff
I like how organized they kept the scrap pile. That is the ant that should be in charge of the tunnels.
