1:55 "the ants break through the first line of defense"
*ant just casually walks by termite*
Lol🤣
😂 so true
Ant: Any food here?
That termite definitely got fired
To his defense, the termite warrior is blind.
how many hundreds of war history books could be written if only ants could write. Millions of battles going on every day involving quintillions of participants.
The weight of all ants on earth equal the weight of all humans.
So true..
Once upon time... We were defeated by the termites -_-
Colony Ant war 1039
If
Danm,
I've never had so much suspense from watching ants and termites fight, lol
I know right hahahah
happier ending for the termites in this one.
Antz?
I want a video game based on insect turf war now.
+Arctic SimAnt sequel, PLZ!
+Arctic It is almost astonishing how no one hasn't created one yet!
+Arctic Antz the movie prob had a game, but only a small part of the movie was about the war, so the game would probably be an adventure game
+Arctic
it's been already done, its called _"Dwarf Fortress"_
+Arctic if you want a game similar to this check out the aliens vs predator games, their are actually based on stuff like this, believe me i had so much fun playing it on playstation 2!!!!
I can't stop watching ant documentaries!
TechnoBambino lol me neither
Me to
TechnoBambino+ Ants in your pants?
I used to be obsessed about ants up until i was like 18. it was funny that i was a teenager with an ant farm. im 30 now. yeah, i know whatcha mean, ants kick ass
lmao me too. God this video is intense
Then everything changed when the Fire Ants attack!
Hahahahahha
lol
Only Trump, master of wall building. only he, could stop them. But when the world needed him most...
levin villena he died...
no fire ants live where termites live
I'm going to drink to the brave termites that gave their lives for the service of their queen. #RealHeros #UntoldBravery
Agreed
* raises glass of whiskey *
To the termites the natural victors of war
kelly wilson whitehead Good girl
+Memo Felipe I'm a guy I'm on my moms account
LOL!
*Takes the bottle from you and starts drowning it to mask the shame away*

Worker Termite: We need more time! The walls aren't completed yet!
Soldier Termite: I've lost thirteen men already, and we're getting overwhelmed; there's no goddamn way we can hold them off!
Worker Termite: I don't give a damn! BUY US TIME!

dhcuae888 queen : lol noobs yall can die because I'm safe in here.
*Everyone in the colony destroys the queen*
Ant scouts: Beacon planted, now clear the way for reinforcements.
-This place is too cramped. We can't exactly fight in here.
Termite soldier: Halt! This is a protected area. Authorized personnel only.
Ant scout: Just keep moving, we're in no position to attack... yet.
Termite soldiers: This is your last warning! Vacate the premises or... SHOTS FIRED SHOTS FIRED!!! SOUND THE ALARM! THE QUEEN MUST BE PROTECTED!!!
Termite workers: The nest is under attack! Wall off the Royal Chamber!
Termite soldier: We can't hold out! Jaqueline's down and ant soldiers are flooding into the tunnels!
Ant soldier: This isn't working. Our numbers advantage is useless in these narrow corridors!
-This is taking too long and we're losing too many. Fall back!
Lol this made my day
I want an RTS game based on that
Look into Empires of The Undergrowth
I remember there was a game WAY back in the day called "Sim Ant".
We need a "Sim Ant 2016"!!!!!
my dad had that damn game xD
Props to the Termite Cameraman for getting us this war footage taken under dangerous circumstances.
IT'S AN UGLY PLANET! A BUG PLANET! A PLANET HOSTILE TO LIFE AS WE KNOW IT!
I think I'm mostly amazed by how we can seriously get camera in an ant hole like this. 0_o
Oh my 😏...
Ik
They make these on sets
The cameraman Shrink himself For Us To see Inside The ant hole
Common sense
I would have laughed if it ended with some guy grabbing a garden hose.
+Alex H in real life even people stay away from driver ants,whole towns are evacuated in Africa ,very your and drunk people have been killed by them
Big Moose gg
Big Moose Army Ants make people stay off the ground when they pass by.
Lol
Big Moose I like to see them defend off my trust worthy power washer lol
"WE MUST BUILD A WALL"
DONALD TERMITE--> R.I.P. 2010-2010
seem's very effective
This must have been where Trump got his inspiration... Seemed like a good idea at the time i guess.
Yes lol
lol
Build a wall and make the ants pay for it!
“A worker gingerly explores the gaping hole.”
Great opening guys.
I mean what did you think bbc really stood for
@@shap7296 LMAO!!!!
@@shap7296 BIG BL
Can't believe I would ever cheer for termites.
Omg ikr!!!!!!!! XD
Ikr lol
Because their protecting their home
😂🤣🤣
Afro zekepick and we got mad when we are protecting our homes
FIGHT TILL YOUR LAST BREATH,TERMITES! PROTECT THE QUEEN!
Ok on it
*_C O M M U N I S T S D E T E C T E D_*
AND THE KING!!!
Could almost hear the distant strains Of "long live the queen"
God saved the queen
This is so badass what technology can show. You can literally see every little thing which is so impressive
Then a Netflix series called 'Alien Worlds' revealed that these fights were staged on terrariums or artificial places for footage while they were figuring out how alien life would look like and behaved based on how the animals on Earth does. It's on the second episode I guess...
I like the first kill at 1:12. It looks clean, efficient, well executed. Almost like a duel.
Robin Hants I was going to write the same 😃
@@F33bs take a hike
@@F33bs what's going on in your life that you comment on a comment analyzing insect warfare?
@@F33bs and I stand by mine. Commenting on a comment about a comment...comment
was that just a decapitated ant head at the end? Life in the tunnels is ruthless.
Mystery Science Gaming 3000 yup
Hey, more respect for Barbatus.
Honestly, I would love to see a real life everyday show following the events of an ant colony. It would be difficult, but amazing. They could just set up 24 hour cameras, and just review the footage the next day, publish, and then repeat. I don't think that narration would be necessary. It should be pretty easy to understand what is going on. I don't know why I would like that. It's just that seeing how other creatures leave is interesting. People hardly ever think of the many problems other creatures, big or small, face. It's cool to see their "cultures" and how they grow. It's almost like watching a reality TV show, but on steroids. Anyways, I'm gonna get back to living a life. Peace ✌️️
There is a channel dedicated to this. A dude videotapes nonstop his ant colony, he expands it and has more of them.
Ants Canada but I think he wants a more natural setting. Like some ant vs other bug colonies war.
What is the channel name?
That man in your basement watch ants Canada
The channel that most fits this description is called Ants Canada @Isaac Hernandez. wouldn't be surprised if you've already watched one of his popular videos about a cockroach giving birth while being eaten alive...
1:59 GET OVER HERE!
brave, that small termite grabbed a big-ass ant
Balls of steel
This actually gave me that sensation of when you wantch a impactating wwi video. They really apply logic in their actions. Those royal guards gave their lives for the rest
Great stuff. Those termites defence tactics are amazing! They put up their defence at bottlenecks in tunnels and create debth of several layers in defence so ants cant use their numbers. This is amazing to me
To be honest there are only a few things that can kill an entire colony of termites aka humans and diseases.
First time I have ever seen termites win.
***** the besieged fortress is not a true documentary -_-
***** yes
"Gaping hole."
"Giant heads"
"Penetrate deep into..."
"Deep in the bowels of..."
"Harden like concrete"

Thanks for title ideas 👌

Let's leave it like that.

You son of a bitch.
You actually said it.
So, ants are capable of raiding, organized attacks, and walls, as well as assigning guards to certain places.
Whats next? Armor and catapults?
Slavery
@@muhamadsayyidabidin3906 they do that too
Muhamad Sayyid Abidin they have slavery
farming
@@Field_Antthey do THAT too! They even tend cattle in the form of aphids and caterpillars
0:54 I believe this is not a "threat display", it is an alarm to other termites of an incursion.
I think termites are the only insects that can actually fight against ants and win
And bees
Not in an open field though.
+Big Moose wait what? termites invading an ant nest?
No way unless you are talking about a 1K ant colony invaded by like a 100K numbered termite colony.
yes it was a large termite colony which had been there for a while invading what seemed to be a new ant colony,this is quite common in the wild
Ant Captain - You take a standard G.I ant sock, cram it with as much Composition B as it can hold, rig up a simple fuse, then coat the whole thing with axel grease. Now when you throw it, it should stick. Its a bomb that sticks, its a "sticky bomb". Think of a better way to knock out the queen, I'm all ears.
Ant Soldier - This is great, now we gotta surrender our socks.
Termite-nator Salvation
🤣🤣🤣
damnit....the Ant queen needs to pop out more soldier class ants
***** SoldierCyfix was joking.
are you crazy an ant qween will lay thousands of egg a month
@@jojiemacapundag3961 The queen was a termite not an ant.
You see this this proves that war is a natural thing not a human invention
just because something is natural doesn't mean it's a good thing
+Skipper Skip Alas its a great thing for the victor. Otherwise they wouldn't go to war.
***** yum
Fizzyanims It's a terrible thing for the people that were murdered
***** NP
Never was so much owed by so many termites to so few termites
think about this... underground, without the cameras, this is all actually happening in pitch dark :o
+Lord Emilous the soldier ants and termites don't have eyes so this isn't a problem
OMG :O your right
+Thomas K Driver ants don't have eyes, only the males do.
+Thomas K Driver ants don't have eyes, only the males do.
@@thegallus--3556 They do in fact...... but they rely on their antennaes.....who the hell told you they dont have eyes wth
Reminds me of the movie Antz (1998). Only the termites in that movie were mean green acid-shooting machines.
And then an anteater stumbled across and had the biggest feast of its life...
Insect Wars: Wall of the Queen
Sounds like a cool band name and their first hit song! LoL!
3:55 "MY LEEEEEGGGSS!! OH GOD! WHERE ARE THEY?! PLEASE!!! COMRADES, I CAN'T FIND THEM"
(Veteran ant to greenhorn ant, actually starting to frantically scan the battlefield for the fallen ants legs)
"Don't bother, kid. Those won't carry him home either. Just keep walking."
Termites are the best defenders they can create walls as hard as rock and the solders have great very strong mandibles which make them the best at defending they're mound
Termite Soldier: "There's...there's so many of them! They even block out the light from the tunnel entrance!"
Termite Commander: "THEN WE'LL FIGHT IN THE SHADE!!"
You shall not pass!... First line of defence has been overrun. omg
Ants: approaching termites
Termites: *smacking head on the ground intensifies*
Termite soldier: when will this war end!
Ant soldier: ur my enemy, but I agree
Human: pours vinager on the battlefield
Ants and termites: OOF
The ant at the end that was cut in half was truly showing brutality of war
ANTS ARE NOTHING WITHOUT THEIR STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
Tyranno Spino Even though Army Ants frequently raid other insect colonies successfully, and Driver Ants usually win over Termites
1:44 termite worker: sacrifice the children we can just make more anyway!
No not the young ones
The description of this video is very inaccurate.
"Numbers mean nothing"
300 TERMITES: Battle of the big heads.
Garl Vinland Forgot to put 4 zeros behind?😂
BBC earth always has had stellar camera quality for the time of production.
They should make a video game like this!
They did back in the 90s, SimAnt
id.ray86 It needs a more fleshed out sequel.
Zach Douglas I should just make it and laugh at the video industry for not doing it sooner as I swim in money. How are there no an games?!
You should play Empires of the Undergrowth
Driver ants are such bullies. I'm glad something was able to defend against them, even though they were termites.
Bullies? You do realize what termites can do to your house right?
***** They destroyed half of my tools in my tool shed!
+Dingdong well it ur fault plus termite aren't really aggressive un last you kill them and touch them
Dingdong only a few species of termites eat wood... The ones in this video eat mushrooms wich they raise in their nests
Arnold Louie there no such word as bullies in insect world because insect don't give a damn thing same to animal there fight for survival
This plaque is to commemorate the brave termites who gave their lives to keep this nest safe from the ant menace.
Soldier Termites : "For The Queen and Her Nest !!!."
This storytelling is taking my breath away. I’m over here eager while watching to see what happens next
Someone said that ants always win which is clearly false otherwise termites wouldn't be extant. They evolved alongside each other and are perfectly matched.
its so odd to think that a encounter like this could be happening in your yard right now
"ants break through the first line of defence"
ANTS WALK BY
how the hell did they film this?
I have no idea
Yvanne _ they use underground cameras and stick them near the nest watch from far away then once they're done capturing the footage they retrieve their cameras
Lord Frieza the cameras are fixed to tubes that are very narrow
with little bitty camera's
The phalanx-like formations termites make to block tunnels and bite at intruders to pretty damn cool, alongside workers sealing off entrances.
I love how the ant at 1:10 just got his ass kicked and walked back LOL
Well, most ants are completely fearless, and when it comes to providing for their colony and/or defending it, will charge into battle in spite of any handicap they may have, practically mocking the danger of any situation. Not to say ants are stupid, of course. They know when to retreat, as well.
the only thing I don't understand is how did they get the cameras in the tiny holes and crevices?
hehe the ants break out some good dance moves on the battlefield
this should be the next battlefield game
this is termitaaaaa!!!
Rakitha Peiriz "THIS...IS...DIRT PILE!!!"
Rakitha Peiriz THIS...IS...COMBINATION OF SPIT AND MUD THAT HARDEN TO BE AS STRONG AS CONCRETE!
adam lock You win...
How does the driver ants know when to quit the attack and retreat? Does the alien queen signal them subliminally?
I feel like the title is supposed to say termite not ant, it seems like the ants are invaders here.
Palpatine: have you ever heard the great History about microorganisms the war?
-in a long time ago, far far away from the galaxies...
(Star Wars Theme Starts playing...)
the reason ants can sacrifice it self with out fear is they don't feel pains same way we do infact if u cut an ant leg or body while feeding it will continue so till it dies
This is so awesome. The wars we used to have are exactly like the wars insects have,
Exactly
That isn’t an ant nest. Why say that the ants are defending when it is the exact opposite of your title. Words with job good.
There are wars all over the world happening at the same time. Wars of the insects
Meanwhile on the Human Network: The American humans and the Taliban are locked in vicious squad on squad battles. The Taliban constantly move their leaders in order to avoid the superior American numbers. The fighting is in a stalemate, and the Americans withdraw...
This became more true
Epic Soldier Ant: IT"S OVER!
Epic Termite Soldier in a whisper: you...should have gone...for the head!
-clicks jaws together-
I like the part where the ants defended their nest against intruders.
The ants should really learn what a siege is. What a bunch of dim witted animals!
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah hurrah.
We slaughter termites just for fun, HURRAH HURRAH!
The ants go marching two by two, hurrah hurrah.
We'll all be dead before we're through, HURRAH HURRAH!
The ants go marching three by three, hurrah hurrah, hurrah hurrah.
We're off to face our destiny HURRAH HURRAH!
The ants go marching four by four hurrah hurrah.
You'll find there is a million more HURRAH HURRAH!
Even ants does not believe in world peace.
Chester V that’s why they’re at the bottom of the food chain
Wow. The ants were defeated. That is rare.
when your team is more worried about their k/d than the objective
Video title is wrong; the ants are the ones doing the intruding, not the defenders.
the termite queen reminds me of jabba the hutt
The first blood though.
Total War: Anthammer
Gandhi the Terrible HA!
You got it
Wow, this was way more emotional than I expected. Can´t you just share the nest and be friends, please.
Termite queen: *orders an aditional wall to be build*
Worker termite: Unable to comply, building in progress
Man,I cheered for the ants because a couple months ago,termites destroyed my Grandmother's house and that house was there for years and termites destroyed it! It was such good memories at that house.That house was even built by my Great Grandfather :(
LET THE WAR BEGIN!
Hey you're not like us..........WAR!!!!! Not so different from humans XD.
Now we just need to pour some molten aluminium into this and ends it once and for all...
Ants Canada brought me here. He owned a Termite nest, but a marauding army of Pharaoh Ants (a nomadic ant species common to where he lives) broke in and killed the termites and took over the nest. It was sad.
Good bugs died this day but they did there duty and protected the queen
Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 4 leaked trailer
god save the queen
she's safe, likely 10ft under through tunnels, protected by almost 2M babies
Remember when the subscribe button was yellow?
Termite General to Ant General: "Bring it on but some of you are going home without your nuts."
I feel so sad it's like warrior sacrifices for the queen and the background music makes it more dramatic
God save the Queen!
How do they film this
Magic
The battle of Termitegrad (2010 Colorized)
The title was defending the ANT nest from intruders. The termites were the one being attacked
Uh, that's defending a termite nest from intruders, not an ant nest. You would thing the producers could at least get the title right. You had one job. Good video though.
