I Fed COW EYES to My FIRE ANTS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- I gave my massive pet fire ant colony, named the Crimson Knights, a pair of uncooked beef eyeballs for Halloween, all in the name of science. Ants are some of the planet's most important scavengers, and breaking down decaying meat of dead animals is their functional niche in the ecosystem, among other things. Watch what happened as the fire ants masterfully break down the beef eyeballs I gave them, despite never before having eaten beef. The process was nothing less than intriguing and the results surprising. Hope you enjoy this week's Halloween episode. This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

I can’t believe Mikey donated his own eyes to the ants. That’s commitment.
Ikr
How can he see to record the video?
@@arsenicburrito7692 Service ants
@@arsenicburrito7692 He traveled back in time from the future to donate his eyes, and his past self (who we know as the present Mikey) recorded the video
@@BerylliumMoose 🙏🏾🤭😂😂😂
Giving up your sight shows how committed you are to these ants. Long live the colony!
We are getting closer and closer to antscanada feeding a human being to his fire ants …
I know right? 😂😂😂✌🇨🇦🤣🤣
I was gonna say this 💀
As the colony grows, so does their appetite.
I wonder when he will start feeding them a Tbone? Next week? The one after? Or will it be a year from now? Wonder if he has any input
You are crazy
Bro keeps his drinks next to his spare eye balls and some some fungus, i love the way he lives 😂😅
Yeah I like the way he lives
Mikey, I have watched you for years and years, been through three fire ant generations, the yellow crazy ant supercolony, to now, where I believe this is one of the craziest videos I have seen on your channel. Keep up the great work!
Wow, you're an OG! Thanks for the long time support! Ant love forever!
@@AntsCanadaThank you Mikey. Now I can't sleep and have unlock a new fear: "Ants eating my eyes"
You never fail to amaze, intrigued, and give me goosebumps.
Ants love forever 😊
Do you remember what the first video you watched was?
@@jackson-wadden I think it was the one called "my fire ants have started to plan an escape" or something, it was definitely alot older than 5 years ago
@@officialrileyt mine was Ant War: Battle of the three armies. It was November, 2017. I was just a kid. I rememeber how interested I was in ants. I was thrilled that I found Antscanada. After I watched that video, I watched alot of the previous videos, and I have been watching them every week ever since!
A time lapse of the ants covering the eyes would have been awesome!
Love how you keep your drinks and PITCHER OF FUNGUS SPORES next to each other. What a legend.
those are some really aesthetic eyeballs, i've never seen them so non-vomit enducing
There's an old story about pets well cared for and treated with love becoming effectively spirit guardians of a sort to the owner.
Imagine a tide of aggressive insects just having your back the whole time.
But wait there’s more. Random RUclips sensation, Bruce Wayne level standard of living in extremely remote location, commander of legions of the most recognizable yet overlooked insect across the globe, is also built like a fuckin samurai. AND YOU NEVER SEEN HIM AND ANT MAN IN THE SAME PLACE
There's no god
My dude just goes in raw and picks up that eyeball with his bare hands. You a savage.
They're just eyes.
@@ranayaload Ok, I just don't understand why.
It's just raw meat. Hands wash. Never handle raw steaks or chicken? Not really different.
I know right? He might have gotten bitten by the ants!
Lol
9:00 Keep a _very_ close eye on that. If they're digging downward, they could breech the bottom of the terrarium.
Hmm, that’s quite interesting. I would think that he would dig-proof the bottom though.
@@user-wj8yy7og5k Nothing is impenetrable.
Oh ya- I forgot there wasn’t bedrock down there! 🥲
Lol @@Kaiyox27
I’d be interested I seeing the fire ant colony try a beef patty, a vegan patty, and a lab grown meat patty at the same time to see how they react to each type of ‘meat’.
Perfect, just as I’m recovering from a scratched cornea! 😂 it felt about like it was covered in fire ants
It really does
15 years later: Hello guys and today I am gonna be feeding my liver to my 10th fire ant colony!
Lol
next week ill do my skin! 😀😀

You should add the slippery stuff just like yearly
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I didn't want to hear AC say "twerking" this morning.
🤣🤣🤣
Why ants are twerking?💀💀💀💀💀
Aside from the obvious effort and care that went into making the environment, and raising the ants to a state of stability, this has to be a massive amount of work to maintain. Hats off to you sir.
😊
2030: I feed my ants a blue whale.
...
lol😂
Funnily enough, I had done Biology at school, and had worked on eyeballs. They are basically jelly encasings filled with a liquid substance. Honestly didn’t expected the ants to be able to avoid all that mess, with all the eye juices. Smart gals
Aren't they also muscle as well?
@TheSilverShadow17 yes. There is a bit of muscle that allows the pupil to shrink and expand when in contact with more or less light. Though I'm not one hundred percent sure, been a while now since I've done it. So if that's wrong, blame my memory :>
I remember we had to dissect these cow-eyeballs in around the 8th grade in Germany when we discussed the eye in natural science class. You could opt out if you were sensitive, but I did it and found it pretty interesting to see all the layers that we discussed before in theory for myself.
Same!! It's pretty cool seeing them in person
I wish my school had that kind of experiments. All we had was frogs and fishes
Another German, yes we did that too, was pretty cool! And a pig Heart too! XD and i also dissected a squid once, but Not in regular biology, it was an extra Curricular (AG)
I got extremely lucky with my schools (especially in a kinda rural area of the US), since I got to dissect an entire salmon in 5th grade: piglets and some eyes that I don't remember in 7th grade: some kittens, more eyes, frogs, and some other things that I can't recall in 8th grade; All in all, I found the eyes and the hearts the most intriguing because of how complex they were, which got elevated in 8th grade when we got to look at the cones in an eye under a microscope
The backs of cow eyes are really pretty!! I don't remember what it's called but it kinda looks opalescent and shimmery blue-green
I took medical science classes in high school where we dissected different animal parts like sheep liver and kidneys
Soft, succulent eye balls 😂
Full of protein and liquids for any ant colony.
Great job with the channel mate, keep it up ✌️
Almost at 5 million!! This channel has come a long way. Congrats !!!
Once mating flight happens you can use the new ant queens to replace the crimson knights once their queen dies.
I was also thinking that but we can not just replace
Or make that new queen the 2nd queen of the Crimson Ants.
that fridge is the one in his ant room. his actual fridge in his kitchen is full of wonderful healthy foods, but not enough cheese
You gave eyes?! For your ants
Woah that's real commitment
I like that you respect the ants habitat. You didn’t disturb them during their feast. You’re a great ant dad!
SO THIS IS WHERE MY EYES WENT.
Wait you’re a cow

These are the most entertaining videos on RUclips.
ants realizing that they get free food from the mighty hand
When I went to science world in vancouver, they did a cow eye dissection, and the lady doing it got me to come up and help take it apart, it was really cool (i was maybe 13 or 14)
This was definitely fascinating! The ants are very smart, it was interesting seeing what they did to the eyeballs. I guess that it didn't smell bad in the room.
Oh, it did.
@@AntsCanadahello :D
love your videos and especially the fire ant ones keep them coming and i hope to see more types of ants in your ant room like the blue ants from one of your other videos and i loved the vid when your original fire ant colony was escaping
This video was an eye opener, truly eye watering.
😊😊
thanks for all the content!

Cant believe how long ive been watching you. You've taught me to love and respect ants. So thank you. Ant love ❤
me and my brothers love your vidioes and we hope you continue to teach us about these amazing insects
Eventually this is going to get to the point where he's feeding his ants whole chickens or something
He fed them a pigeon😅

Fire ants: GIMMIE YOUR EYEBALLS!!!
I can’t unsee this 🤭😂
🙌🐜❤️ 100 Pun Points!!!
@@AntsCanada 🙏🏾🌚🌝🤭
The eye is basically a sack filled with clear gel. All the interesting areas are around the lens and at the nerve bundle at the back.
randomly has eyeballs in an empty fridge HAHA
The thought of having fireants crawling on my eyes…
I am really excited for the update of experiment 555
Im sure they have growned alot and is healthy
I once did a school experiment where we should discover what cow eyes were made of, it was gross but I kinda enjoyed messing around with the eyes
Awesome episodes, as always
I dissected a sheep eye in the 10th grade. I kept the lens of the eye in my winter coat pocket for over a decade. It slowly turned from mostly clear to dark-brown, but it never deteriorated at all and remained elastic until I finally lost it.
I really want a termite update. We need to know what happened to them, wether that's good or bad news
I think he did one?
Edit: yeah he said it got too hot in his house around 15 minutes into this video from about 3 months ago "How I Accidentally Killed My Termites (Full ANT ROOM Update)"
@@davedunks4647 But after that he caught more termite royal pairs (~20) and put them together. He was founding that mega colony and since then he hasn't mentioned them again (unless he did in the middle of one of his few videos I haven't watched
he showed us some termite fungus spores in his fridge when he got the eyeballs out, so maybe he's still trying again? hopefully he's working on a cooler area setup for them too. they don't like the hot temps that the ants prefer. and they even prefer to dig their own ventilation holes too, which means a mostly enclosed glass setup might not work out.
Oh no fire ant mating! You may have to borrow an armadillo or some thing
Thanks for doing my suggestion “can you do a ants feeding video”+ant love 4ever
Yeah okay sure. I went from watching an adorable baby praying mantis hatching to watching some eyes get eaten by ants.
When you love entomology, both of these things are beautiful.
The ants are endlessly fascinating…and clearly like to do things their way.🖤🇨🇦
I feel like in a year not only will the fire ants eat cow eyes but a whole literall cow
“The first ant starts twerking” made me spit out my water 💀
💀
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

you made my jaw dropped as soon you poked those eyeballs..
You can’t say you love your pets unless you donate your eyes to them 💀

AntsCanada: Lets feed our beloved ants a human!
i think putting a camera in front of the ant colony, and have it record timelapses while you are gone would create some cool and unique clips
I used to work in a butcher's shop. My dad is one by trade. I've helped with animals when I lived on the family farm. This was the most unnerving feeding video to date for me, but darn,, am I ever glad I watched it
Loved it hun, those eyeballs man, so cool to watch.just thinking ,have you ever thought of giving them a big blue ox tounge 🐜💕
Thank You AntsCanada!!
We dissected cow eyes when we where in 9th grade biology at our school. They are so squishy and yess filled will goo.
I've helped clean deer and fish after catching them, and eyeballs are pretty much just rubbery squishy balls. It's basically just a big ball of gristle if you ignore the fact that it's... y'know, an eye.
Guys, You won't believe what I have stored in my fridge, I have been saving this frozen human body for this special occasion 💞. 0:10
2050 "I have converted my mind into pure data watch me feed my human body to my fire ants."
Love your videos you taught me a lot about ants 😊
"And the first Ant began to twerk"
AYOOOOO!!! 😳😳
Fire Ant-God to AntsCanada: You know, when I asked you to keep an eye on my children this isn't what I meant...
6:16 the clip speaks for itself
I love your story telling so much. You're truly gifted in that way!
Not the ant “twerking” 😂
My eyes and nose are itching so much now! Thanks AntsCanada! 😂
It's a good thing I don't have a weak stomach as I watched this while eating my breakfast.
It's a little bit disappointing to not get to see the ants burrow into the eyeballs, but you know what would be almost just as inteesting to watch? If you could do a timelapse video of the ants burying a meal item, with a timer on the side measuring how long it takes for them to completely bury their quarry.
;)
Okay but your empty fridge says a lot about how much you need to go out
Happy halloween for you and the ants #antloveforever👻👀👁🐜🎉
Are you a bot
Eye ballss at the cornea have multiple layers. One of them is the lens wich us quite thick. In the middle is the vitreous body. It is very slimy and wet. Look it up on the internet it is very interesting. Your eye is made out of 4 different main layers.
LOL when the vegan teacher sees this she will lose it

AntsCanada will donate his body to the ants when he dies
As an idea for the inevitable nuptial flight, maybe you could make a large mesh cage to surround the setup and it would catch any queens that fly out? Assuming that the colony is an invasive one that you don't want escaping the ant room either, or if you just want to be sure that they don't make any homes outside the setup if they are somehow able to impregnate within the colony (I don't know much about that.)
From what i know He doesnt have invasive Ants For ethic reasons :)
"Guys, you will not believe your eyes" the cows😵
3:25, when ants twerk you know your done 💀🕊️
I'm old enough to have dissected them in 5th grade. They were neat. And explained alot
