Natural World: Empire Of The Desert Ants
Against the Chiricahua Mountains of southern Arizona, Empire of the Desert Ants takes an in-your-face look at the violent world of desert honey ants by charting the fate of a single colony over several years as they battle all-comers for survival and dominance over the small patch of desert that is their world. Both the big picture and every minute detail are captured in this dramatic and fascinating film using the latest camera techniques and visual effects. Macro-photography shows the heart of their epic confrontations and the very core of life in the honey ant colony. Battle plans, defensive strategies and 'team' tactics are presented using the latest battlefield technologies. Also revealed are parallel worlds dominated by hidden forces - chemical weaponry, ultra-sonic sound, pheromones, ultra-violet and polarised light - as well as detailed characterisations of the different members of the colony.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

Scariest trailer for a horror movie I’ve seen to date.
Ya the pit of doom is going to be good
What are you an ant ?
We’re still recording it date is March 1
These were one of the most fascinating creatures as a kid, they look like they're from another planet.. It's like it's a Micro Tremor

Can’t believe I found your comment on an ant lion video haha
@@gandrew5363 The most random video in the world too, your brother found a comment on a WSHH video once lmaooo
It's the original Sarlacc
Everybody gangsta till the whole ant colony shows up
Hahahah....thanks for the laugh
Hahahhahahaha lol
LMFAO!!
I wanna see that bro
Lol
Where it will be slowly digested for over a thousand years?

@Bewilderbeast oh yeah but boba fett wasn’t eaten he was digested and still survived

Lmao 😂
He is the terrestre off the “hobbit worm” (type that)
Poor Laszlo! The finest mind of our generation, to come to such an end.
It's amazing how something natural like this can be made so horrific with the right words.
All nature is horror from a certain point of view
Well, nature is cruel so I am not supprised. Ever seen orcas sling seels 20 meters upp inm the air? It's not just nature, but it's dang horrendus to think about.

It never crossed my mind an ant would struggle to climb out of a tiny sand pit.
Yeah, can’t they climb walls and stuff?
the walls of the pit are made steep enough so that anything slightly scraping it will make the sand unstable and fall (aka the angle of repose) so the ant loses its footing. this is why antlions use sand
Not true they can climb almost anything. However if that surface is unstable they can not which is why they travel in groups to help each other out. No ant can do what a ant colony can. They're stronger in numbers@joshuaneate358
How amazing of an architect do you have to be to make a slope that is stable until an ant’s body weight is applied? That’s downright incredible that a trap like that can be dug.
0:43 I bet BBC put the ant in there 😂
Ant goes into hole
Antlion: *In case you haven't noticed you've fallen right into my trap*
No it’s Y O U J U S T A C T I V A T E D M Y T R A P C A R D
Lmfao
Now when you're feeling sorry for yourself, and downhearted, take comfort and good cheer in the fact that Antlions.....are not the size of African Lions 😲😲😲
Well I mean, I’m pretty sure humans would be smart enough to if they saw a giant sloped hole in the ground, they’d know it’s an antlion and to steer clear
@@flargarbason1740 Haha....Or run like the clappers!
Yeah otherwise most humans in Africa asia north and south America wherever these hunters are found be dead😵
@@flargarbason1740 yeah but if ever antlions became as big as regular lions we can deal with them with our guns tanks artillery and planes
(Wait antlions slope hole will cause tanks to get stuck in a place from where it will be almost impossible to get them out)
@@thescriptwriter824 😂🤣HA
Um...What😶??????
Dang! He was throwing that ant around like a RAG DOLL🐜🐜
This dificult an scape. More sand, more slizing.
@@waitening what
You little shit *throws*
Imagine if he accidentally threw it out of the trap
Oof That must be nightmarish for an ant
When I was young, I used to find ants and drop them on the edge to watch them slide to their doom. What the narrator misses is that the Ant Lion isn't thrashing about. Its actually tossing sand up to the top of the ledge to cause a mini rock slide to drag the ant to the bottom. They don't "toy" with their food. They actually have really poor eyesight so most of its attacks are based on the vibrations it feels from the struggling ant. This whole event usually happens in a fraction of a second. They must have tried dozens of times to find an example this active. Still cool to watch in slow mo though.
Oh yeah and dont step on these lil traps... They work humans too and they hurt like the Dicken. Lol
Wait they can hurt human skin?
@@CookiesAndSharks I’d imagine any bug can hurt us a little from mosquito to ants. But I doubt an ant lion can bite through a shoe or would mess with a predator 10x their size
@@darnellingram5719 yea
The narrator likely knows they're not intelligent enough to care about toying with their food, he just says is to improve the entertainment of the show.
When I was a kid, my cousins and I would drop ants into ant lion traps. We'd dig the ant lions up and play with them. Alien-looking things! :)
Did same...childhood in the 90s😂
Your both psychopaths
@@chigoville2660 where
@@klenovyysirop12 Africa - Cameroon
That is the typifying behaviour of a psychopath. 😂 Hope you sought treatment.
I was actually more creeped out by the commentary voice than of the killing machine that thing is.
"Buried alive" demonstrated .
As kids growing up on a ranch, the fine sandy washes were prime ant lion habitat. I spent many, many hours collecting ants and small beetles to drop one by one into the perfect cone shaped lairs then watching them struggle to climb the steep, fine sand walls only to eventually slide into the big jaws of the ant lion. It would then pull its prey beneath the surface and, over time, toss the drained and dried out carcass out of the pit and wait for more. Was so fascinating. It beat burning them all with a magnifying glass.
I used to do both as a kid 😆
i caught ant lions and would keep them as pets
Weird. And are you a serial killer now?
@TxBoi Children lack empathy, it's not inherently a trait we're born with knowledge of but a feeling that needs to be taught.
Everyone: antlion
Me, an intellectual: T r a p i n c h
you: trapinch
me, an intellectual: that one boss from pikmin 3
Wasn’t trapinch modeled after the antlion?
@@Bobo0818ml The entire Flygon line is modeled after both larvae and adult antlions.

LOL
sorry dude this might of hurt.
oh hi
You didn't need to watch this
aNTS CANADA HOW DID YOU GET HERE
Sarlac: *invades reality*
Reality: Ok, so, fine. But, we're going to have to make you absolutely useless as an adult
Born and raised in Texas. Houston to be precise so in the city and I had honestly never realized how many bugs I had never taken notice of. About a year and a half ago we moved to Kingsville TX and it being more rural I have seen so many bugs that I had never seen before in my life. I have a stroller for my blind kitty and recently I started noticing these small 'holes'/cones in the dirt in this patch that we pass by on our daily walk. The area is teeming with ants I assumed it was them doing it but I had to look it up. Had never heard of Antlions. This video was fascinating.
im in houston, and i hadnt seen them since i was a kid in a suburb outside the city. the other day i noticed some ant lion lookin cones in the runoff sand from garden beds in my driveway....i plucked a hair and tested it- sure enough ant lion flipped up to grab what he thought was dinner. i didnt know until recently they are juvenile dragonflies
My dad used to show me ant lions as a kid, then we’d go hunt for ants to feed them.
20+ years later I happen to find one today and show my wife for her first time. The excitement never goes away finding one, searching for food, and delivering to the terrifying little guys 😁
Yes 😂 I just discovered these guys in my garden. Amazing
XD I remember the first time I saw an antlion... it fascinated me so much that I couldn't be bothered by the schools bell ringing everybody back in. I remember thinking to myself if the antlion actually knew that it built a trap for ants and that all it's prey were unfortunate insects, who will become it's food... or it just learned that digging hole= mealtime
"The ant lion toy with his prey". He's not playing. He's trowing sand to dificult an scape.
*I would like to see how this traps works on dangerous ants like the Siafu Ant, Bullet Ant, and The Bulldog Ant.*
it works much the same unless the ant or ants are big enough or numerous enough to resist the attack, i’m not sure how common this is but i think it depends on whether or not the ants dig down to the ant lion and kill it, or escape.
The sand is part of the protection, this allows them to kill small scorpions and centipedes
i once fed my pet ant lion a Trap-jaw ant that i found outside, and they killed each other sadly

Wait I've seen this before somewhere...
--I'm pretty sure this is a re-upload... I've seen the exact same kicking up the ant and landing in same spot--
Its called married 😁
@@googleuser6440 haha
Maybe DEEPLOOK channel?
its not a repeat there is another antlion video, which is far better tbh
there's a lot of antlion in the Philippines..when i was a kid we always play under my neighbor house ..we called it (sibog-sibog)
Damn nature, YOU SCARY!!!
“You will therefore be taken to the Dune Sea and cast into the Pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all-powerful Sarlacc. In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering, as you are slowly digested over a thousand years.”
krll o Alan tava certo, ela realmente atira a formiga
When i watch bbc earth videos, i always look fwd to read the comment sections..creatively hilarious, they are
Ant: *Makes a step*
Antlion: I expected you would do that
YOU TRIGGERED MY TRAP CARD
Enemy mine brought me here 🤣🙏👍
You want him to take the coast road? He won’t last 5 minutes on foot- it’s spawning season for the antlions.
That is so scary.
I agree, but nature is nature
If you see one, you probably won't feel the same thing again.
Ant: Exists.
Antlion: I am going end this ant's whole career.
this meme is older than my grandma's grandma.
anyone who uses this meme has no brains
Antlions are truly amazing.
As a kid these ant eating killers really fired up my imagination!
As a kid, I used to come across these things at my grandpa's farm. I'd purposely collect a couple ants and toss them into the pit just to watch them get sucked under. As someone who's always been interested in mysterious mechanics (including biological goings on), I was fascinated by this...
2:46 "Paralysed by the injected poison"
Don't you mean the injected venom or toxin?! 🧐
they fell into the pedantlion's trap
"You there! Stop where you are. Stay on the rocks! Don't step on the sand it makes the antlions crazy!"
How to deal with an antlion:
Step 1: Lure it into a hat.
Step 2: Wait.
Step 3: Let it out and see what it turned into.
🦔
The ant at the end: Help I'm getting drowned in the sand
I loved when the trap jaw said: Its flinging time and flinged everywhere
3:30am and I'm looking up videos of Antlions, what even is my life anymore?
Ikr 😂
Fun fact, you can use your hair to fish the ant lion out, take it home as a pet 😁
Clever! I'll have to try that way of catching them. I'd usually just scoop up a lot of dirt around the pit with my hands then gradually sift through the dirt to find them.
As a kid I used to push ants right into those traps and enjoy the show.
*Antlion:* You've triggered my trap card
Everybody gangsta until u r shrunken down to the size of an and while inside of a sandbox
Dropping ants and see them trying to dragged the ant in is quite entertaining to say the least they're pretty ticklish if put them on your palm
This guy: bluh bluh, gets the ant imposition for his killer move
Me: German suplex!
That’s a hell of a way to go....
Wow amazing creature the ant lion
Well that was a way to start my early morning coffee off 😂
Imagine you were the ant, your searching for food then suddenly, *BEAR*
good to know, bouta fight this thing in grounded
Děkuju.
Great footage..I like it
i remember when we were kids we used to feeds ants to the antlions lmaoo and sometimes seen ants tending to the circles they made i guess they took over after the antlion dies or something? but it was interesting watching them jumpout and get the ants
Whenever I’m in the south and find ant lion pits I make it my mission to feed it as many ants as I can. It’s not the most clever way that any animal catches its prey, but it’s just so novel
Actually I’d say it’s genius, the fact an insect has the architectural insight to build a slope of sand on the perfect angle that an ants body weight will cause the sand to fall to the centre is frighteningly clever. Even if it isn’t really “thinking” about doing about building it like that the fact that it does is amazing
this was more scary and tense than any horror film i’ve ever watched...
I bet that antlion is a fan of john cena,
I recognize the WWE move he made.
IIRC, John Cena raised money for charities and other good works.
Seems like a silly way to make a living, but props from me.
And he makes far more money than I, so who am I to criticize.
Dang I just remembered when I'm 9years old and my freind catching antlion
"..its vital juices sucked out.." OMG, that's horrify..oh wait it's just an ant.
Antakin: I don’t like sand
What?
The silvo
It's a Star Wars joke. Anakin's monologue about disliking sand but in the POV of an ant. Ant + Anakin = Antakin.
Wen I have Money , This is How My FRIENDS TRAP ME !! 😂😂
N my Pocket gets Empty
A brilliant trap.
hey antlion i’ve got lots of ants here in my house, want some?
I remember catching these as kids 🐜
The inspiration for the Star War's Sarlacc Pit on Tattoine
I used to put ants and catch the antlion
It acts like dead in my hand
Due to Durant’s typing, it only gets normal damage from Trapinch, but it’s going to have a tough time leaving the fight on its own...
i once found one of those holes in my yard and sacrificed some ants to the hole
Awwww... it's a teeny tiny Sarlacc pit :3
Great sand attack + seismic toss combo right there
This reminds me of the Sarlacc pit on Tatooine in which Jabba liked to toss his enemies.
It's like a Sarlaac pit but for ants.
Imagine needing to do that much just to get a snack
1:29 tombstone piledriver lol
I loved feeding these as a kid.
as a kid in Texas, I was fascinated by the way that pair of pincers on the ant lion’s rear end reached up through the sandy crater and pulled it under.
At least the ant got to be on tv.
Y’all better make sure this don’t show up on Facebook 😂😂
You know, I have an antlion, but mine just grab then throws the little bugger up to the top and the ant just runs away, and I watch the ant, and it never came back nor came near the pit lol
1:04 Bro, he almost flung that ant to safety xD
I'm surprised the narrative said poison instead of venom because I don't think the ant ate anything that caused paralysis
1:04 YA-YEET!
It's like the Caribdis from the insect world
I hate it when my vital juices get sucked out. Oh wait ...
I rewatched this video and still can't see what the antlion looks like. This is a very good inspiration for a horror film.
8pm: I should really start my homework soon
Midnight:
Antlions are so awesome.
They also fling their foods empty husk out their pit after the feeding(The more you know)
(I knew because I had them fir pet)

*Terrarian has left the server due to extreme rage of dying during a sandstorm
sandstorms do be painful when you cant see all the antlion sand bits flying at you
