 Ants may be tiny, but they play a huge role in their ecosystems. In fact, biologists estimate that the collective weight of all the ants on Earth is equal to the weight of all humans. Join Dr. Brian Fisher as he describes the unique behaviors and incredible adaptations of our planet’s most charismatic small animals. See how ants farm, hunt, and tend "herds of livestock." Learn how primitive Dracula ants feed on their sisters' blood. Watch the fastest recorded movement of any animal—a feisty ant with lightening-quick jaws that Dr. Fisher filmed with one of the world's most advanced high-speed cameras. |
