I still think we should call the nesting area of this tank "the belly of the beast". It's both the deepest section of the tank, attached to the Leviathan's mouth, and where food is dragged in to be digested.

I believe from 2:04 to 2:08 if you look at the bottom left path you can see the queen move. There is at least a very large number of the ants moving in a giant cluster and a very large gaster can be seen. It is possible that it's a super major, but I believe this was the queen.

​@@AntsCanadayes, it's so timely and important right now, with so many ecological crises looming. The more people out there helping others to appreciate and value nature, the better!

The fact that Mikey made this channel and he is also managing his other channels, he is really dedicated

That's an incredible enclosure that leviathan inside is beautiful and the ants are especially just as incredible great video

Not sure if you've done it yet. But it would be really interesting to see how these ants react to having multiple food items of various qualities available at once to see what they prefer and how they go about collecting it. (Like a roach, pinky mouse, and piece of fish) Maybe they take the lower quality meal thats closer to the nest first, then collect the higher quality thats further away? Perhaps they'll pass on the low quality food for the higher quality despite the having to travel farther? EDIT!!!!: Prioritization! Thats the word I was searching for!! What do the ants prioritize? Ease of access or quality of nutrients??

I said to myself: Looking at their previous feeding frenzies I'd expect them to take a day or 2, but I wouldn't be surprised if the colony has grown big enough to devour the whole thing overnight. I was right🤣🤣

You asked what you should feed them next. I'd love to see them eat some sort of deceased bird, specifically a full-grown one so that we can see how they deal with feathers. You've mentioned knowing pet store owners before, so maybe you could get something like that from them?

I love how you always clarify terms for new people.

This reminds me of the combined effort I witnessed last summer. Ants and wasps working together on one dead juvenile mouse one of our cats brought home but didn't eat. Fascinating af😮

feed them a whole KFC chicken cup

I remember I was 8 years old when I started watching you. Now I’m 13. I would watch in amazement as the ants ran around. I caught a queen 2 years ago and she had some larvae but unfortunately died because of me getting a little to excited and checking up on her too often. The year after I was busy and gone a lot and I didn’t feel like I could care for her and a colony. This year I have plenty of time and I am waiting for flights so I can actually get to raise one.

Before I found your channel years ago I hated ants bc I'm allergic glad I found you and stuck around to see all these colony's grow

It very fascinating at how quickly these ants can consume their food. Can’t wait for the next video! 😁

The thing I love about ants is there determination they will do anything for food even if it's dead or alive

I would call the terrarium Tiamat after the Sumerian serpent Goddess who lives under the water. The colony looks great, and I thought they would take one day to finish with the mouse. Pretty cool.🖤🇨🇦

These videos just keep getting better!

You my friend have gotten yourself a new member to your growing family ;) I love these vids so I had to drop a sub and click the bell icon

What a fantastic enclosure. It looks unbelievably good

I love this channel and you made my heart for ants much stronger!😊❤

Man that was crazy and I'm enjoying the video's you created wish you luck

9:09 i think that even if they dont bring it back, the major pulling helps dissect the mouse. even if he cant rip the limb off the extra tension will make it easier for other ants to sever.

I think it will take less than a day for them to devour it (from the point when they reach the mouse). Judging from their exponential number growth I think they won't take much time to dismantle it.

I have a very important question for you @antsCanada go further to see the question How is it with the fungus termites we did not see them for a long time can u post them a video plss

Great video! Would love an update on the termites at some point if they're still around!

with the amount these ants come out, you can tell they love doing what they have engraved in their instinct.

Been here since the introduction of the Golden Empire, so glad to see where we've come on this channel

You’re literally the best narrator I’ve heard

Wow!!!! I was totally wrong!!! I guessed it would take atleast a day, i haven’t watched the pinky video yet but i also am a somewhat relative newcomer to your channel but have been binge watching all the playlists!!! lol that was AMAZING!!!! They’re so efficient! I had no idea they were this efficient at cleaning animals, I collect bones and I know beetles are typically used to clean carcasses quickly, usually stripping a skeleton in a few hours depending on size but that’s usually after most of the flesh has been removed to help make it as fast as possible, but I had no idea ants could strip an entire intact mouse carcass in less than 12 hours, sure there’s still a bit left but that’s INCREDIBLE!!!!! Just wow, thank you for teaching me something new! ❤

This colony have grown a lot with only one queen in only three months.

Truly a big experience for them! i think they probably really appreciate this, keep up the good work! The leviathan looks amazing!❤❤❤

Idea for marauder naration (ya know, when you narrate an ant like its a book) the lights of the sea creature could each house the spirit of a deceased queen. Just thought of it

one of those science class dissection bullfrogs laying on its back like in the classroom would be wild

Watching these ants is so satisfying😊

It's amazing how you were able to share something so horrific in the most beautiful way. Keep up the great work!

It would have been kind of interesting seeing their initial interaction with the mites 😅 seeing them organize a line to carry them off before starting on the mouse maybe 🤷‍♂️

I love these videos AntsCanada, but I dont know if its that I havent had my coffee yet but I read the title as "I Fed My Ant Colony an Adult Moose" and freaked out at the thought of such an insane situation lol

Give them haggis to eat, they'll love it

Love the Taylor reference!

Fun fact, some people like me instead of calling leviathans monsters we call them defenders of the ocean. So I was thinking would the leviathans be sea monsters or defenders? Love your channel! For something to feed the ants when their bigger, how about a monitor lizard, a very large/ sometimes small species and they look very good! #antloveforever!

I think I found two queen ants just outside of the store that I work at. They were out front and there's a spot with mulch and a few trees nearby so I gently moved them over there. One still had wings and the other had scars where her wings would have been. That happened Monday and I've been wondering about them all week. I'm in north-eastern Ohio, I wonder what ants they could have been.
