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.

Worker: I’m born
Queen: good, now get to work
@My Opinion that's utter nonsense. The fact that you even have the awareness to make an observation of society, as juvenile and shallow it may be, proves you wrong. Just because humans don't want to get extinct and we actually need "us" to keep things running, doesn't make us a hivemind run entirely on primal instincts... I really hope you're just a juvenile making the for your development necessary observations and comparisons and not an adult actually thinking that. For your own sake.
@@kavinky4491 so what u want to say?
It is utter nonsense and u cant compare yes
Queen: if you don't go to work, I'll send you to gulag!
@@kavinky4491 It you think of our society simpler, yeah it is kinda the same

ants are awesome. annoying af if they're in your house, but really cool when they're doing their thing outside.
Right
You used your their and they’re right. Thank you.
Do you follow ants Canad he's a cool ant keeper of ants different species
Salomon Cruz
yeah, his channel is awesome. i haven't watched much of him recenty since he got really big and started doing clickbait and cliffhangers after every video, but overall, he's pretty cool and taught me a ton about ants
@cristopher wong I think they are interesting to observe still... I don't hate em at all tbh
Awesome video! Pleometrosis is an awesome and quite effective strategy!
HI BRO didn't expect to see you here.
How am I the only like here?
I like your ant videos!
Oi
Hmm Funny to see you here
worker hatches: "I serve the ant union!"
For the republic !!!
@@GudJonnyCakes For the Antperor
Build me an army worthy of Mordor!

Morrdorrrr
Actually it's closer to 40k imperial guards and super major Ants are literally Space Marines
@@longwlenguyen4214 There's no running from the imperium of ants
I never knew so many queen ants could gather in one place...
I respect the scientist/person who knew their habit for the first time.
Some species are polygynous...
After some period the workers will chose the strongest queen and eliminate the rest of the queen and make her the only queen in the colony
Shoro Kenny I think that depends on the species, most species with multiple queens always have multiple queens.
riot i already watch the full episode of this desert ant series. The whole colony was wipe out by another young but strong colony in 8th year if not mistaken
Not gonna lie the eggs actually looks like cooked rice.
Mich 181024 maybe that what rice actually is
@@dingleberry42069 *im not eating rice again*
I thought it was Sugar
Try one?
I’m sure the ants won’t mind...
Your just hungry.
never knew ants just doing their ant things could be so cinematic and Intriguing
My regards to Antman for capturing these amazing footages.
[newly emerged worker] "So it's either my entire life down here in the dark looking after egg-laying machines, OR..."
[looks towards exit tunnel] " See ya!"
Somebody ever wonders how they film this?
Clairenton Hunswijk, yup! Me, just now. 😊
Tiny cameras for ants.
They usually film these shots in a studio.
Why You Sad 👍
@Luis Varas i was thinking of the same word
Ants are truly bizarre and fascinating.
"All ants worker are females"
Me, recalling a time I tried creating a sad, ant love story by using two real ants and a sponge as a boat.
@Crystal Moon E It was a strange childhood memory. My sisters thought I was using the bathroom for a long time until one of them open the bathroom door to find me, a filled-water sink, and a sponge with two ants on it.
I did that too.
I thought two species of ants are the same.
You know what happened.
They fought to the death
This *NEVER* gets old .....
Look up "Cloning Crazy Ants." Basically the queen clones herself as workers and she can also clone the male that impregnated her. In other words, the queen can give birth to the original father. Yeah........................
So if you can be reborn. What does it mean to be you? Are you the same as the other you? Or do environmental factors change the newly cloned you as compared to the dead you? Ants be crazy....
@@druujenkins3857 ha... im sure scientist will try to replicate this process in one form or fashion
*I would love to see behind the scene to see how they got the camera inside the ants nest.*
They attached gopro in an ant worker..hehe
You have to lay next to the nest and get attacked until the ants become your friends, then you ask for an ant nation passport and introduce microescopic cameras
@@jesusgil9971 🤔🤔😂😂
@Political Commentator looking right answer 😁😁
@@EstanciaTimesDocumentary 😁😁😁
The queen ants just gossiping how the other queens don't have a sisterhood like them. 😅
Dammit! Soon as it gets really interesting I remember it's only 3 minutes long!! Make these longer please?
That’s when you watch antz by dream works haha
"Okay now I'm born, let's go do some of that *L A B O U R I N G* "
Why do I like watching bugs and don’t like bugs in real life LOL.
I respect the cameraman really
yeah he was at a huge risk being in the nest with all them queens and workers, miracle he did not get attacked
@@jaranda543 this guys can be aggressive
Shoutout to Antman for filmin all this!
It’s insane how they got the camera in there nest, and the queens don’t even know it!
Paparazzi 😒
I wish I could see full series, in this quarantine it would be good to release these series of nature that talks about echo systems.
Is everyone gonna ignore how the cameraman took this video?
I love my earth. The earth is an ecosystem like a cell of the universe. We are high-class animals so we are wondering who we are, but before we know it we should understand what is happening around us, thank you BBC youtube
RUclips at 2 AM : Wanna see how ant queens forge an empire?
Me : well well well.. this is facts
music at the end , beautiful
AMAZING!!
Fascinating
magnificent colony!
I love the way you tell stories.
Each no bigger than a pinhead
Egg: who u calling pinhead
God damn I was going to comment that
@@giraffeman326 just comment
Each no bigger than a pinhead
Egg:who you calling pinhead prt.2
This is gnarly
What a brave camera man venturing inside that giant ant nest
Do you think that the Ants are paid actors acting like themselves as we do
Fantastic piece of design by nature. Nature paid so much attention to the ant in creating it.
سبحانك ياربي ما أعظمك (هذا خلق الله فأروني ماذا خلق الذين من دونه)
Where's the full documentary? I want to see more!
An oppressor, statue an image will give its public (all who view it) all its desires and obsessions to keep it quite, to feed its beck and call . Why gluttony feeds misery, passing its conscious and happiness; where to much of something has its hands and mouth full and no where to put it, resentful with a pain in the neck, stubborn to change for influence, going from one extreme to another, what has the best of one shy of the intellect. Why all things reach for the light over them when their hands are free, accounting for, and sharing its mind, least consuming for its losses, building relationships. The truth so subtle (sutil), speaks so loud.
Modesty goes the distance, but misery needs a defense. Wolves hunt the hungry and feed its rubbish for its coat, but lions are quite and sneaky, hiding waiting for its pray, but immoderacy brings it to its knees, and the consciousness knows that Yahweh is always listening, whom both commune, converse and rejoyce (rejoice), truth so subtly (sutilmente).
Underage Ant: Help! They're making me work
Cameraman: Nice
No, they are glad to serve the queen
Awesome
This is so cool
Fantástico!! Olhamos os ovos em torvelinho em volta ...E uma deidade da fertilidade!! É preciso ter paciência para deixar tantos numa azáfama num espaço dentro delimitado pelas paredes ....e as formigas já sabem a sua função ...servir e outras acedem à luz do dia!! O Reino e tudo pelo império! Este que não cai porque a simplicidade mora aqui!
The shot is amazing. Hat'soff to camera man.
Imagine in an alien world somewhere far from us there are ants the size of people with humanoid features almost like an insect dominated world similar to how we evolved from mammals but they evolved from insects
Amazing footage

Very interesting
Music is perfect.
That's no founding queen, BBC.
Thats an Empress. An Empress Ant ready to lead her people to evolution
Soon, she will learn fire and agiculture. The Empire will soon evolve.
Then nations form. New ant types, the Ant Diplomat, Ant Sieger, and more will emerge.
Then... Language.
Yes, after language, comes literature, currency , education, and obviously technology too..😂
They already have language and agriculture
Wow beautiful
Amazing nano camera.
the details of the photography is mesmerizing.

I would love to know how ants communicate and whether they think as individuals, so fascinating! Another amazing video! 💓💓💓
They do think individually (not sure if that's the case for every species though), and they use pheromones for communication. =)
@@vaneyes5137 Thank you for this, for me it's like wanting to understand dolphins language and taking it down to the ant's level. 😁
They think as individuals by they WILL give their lives in a heartbeat so like the cells in your body but if they were actually you know... alive... so not like the cells in your body at all
Unbelievable
Should have been a full documentary :( this is too short
Me encantan estos videos de hormigas 🐜 😍😍
Wow...just wow
madness?
...
_THIS. IS. SPARTA!_
what a voice!
This empire is better than the 7 kingdoms in Game of Thrones...

" first look of the strange new world"
Give the nobel prize to cameraman
Photographer*
If I'm not wrong once the colony is large enought they will select one true queen and kill the others.
Or the others could just fly away with some drones to fund a new colony. Or maybe I'm wrong.
True & some other queens will survive and start their own colony somewhere else & she will take some of the workers with them that sides with her
It really depends on the species.
Qasim Al-Riyami u have any video about this ?.
Some species accept this many queens.
I have so much respect for ants , no time for childhood, fun , holiday , poor ants just work from birth to death , what a beautiful insects :-).
