Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
This is actually a really awesome documentary that spans the rise of an ant colony from the very beginning. It literally starts with the queen looking/fighting for a spot to begin a colony. OP's vid is the end of the colony, after 8 years.
How the hell do they get that footage?
Should've followed the Cole Protocol, it's there for a reason.
This actually happened because the corral colony children became too involved with social networking and became complacent.
Teams need different jersey colors or it gets too confusing to tell them apart
I seriously hate when they add weird sound effects
How much of this is true vs bullshit though? If a film maker put a camera into an ant hill, is he really recording that which he narrates? Sequentially, the film maker got a camera into each chamber and the royal bunker just in time to see the queen dismembered? I would have to think there's a lot of difficult filming that takes place, a lot of set ups, then script writers craft a story line.
I wish I didn't watch that. Gross!
