Not enough nature stories yet? Check out our "Wild to Know"- Playlist: • Wild to Know
A termite mound is a strong fortress, made of packed earth and saliva. In the Central Highlands of Brazil, millions of insects live inside these towers, with each colony run according to a strict social hierarchy.
Right at the top is the queen 👑, who must be protected at all costs. But what happens when a hungry anteater attacks? And how do termites fight a different kind of enemy: wildfire?

Theres a game called empires of the undergrowth, check it out!
I must say that this was one of my favorite videos done by Terra Mater. I truly appreciate the time and effort necessary from your videographers to collect this footage and your writers for compiling the narrative needed for this short, ~6 minute video. As a teacher, this is something I want to find the time to share with my students. As a parent of an infant, this is something I want to save so that I can share with my daughter when she's old enough for it to be salient.
Life of a termite colony is basically akin to Medieval/Dark Ages. Except Older, Authentic and way more Fun to study.

This needs to be longer. It reminds me of an old documentary called "Besieged Fortress"

As ants are retreating, i heard the whistle sound which is the retreat sound from WW2
I was rewatching Antz for the millionth time and decided to see why ants and termites don't like each other

I love how the ants steal the termites eggs of their babies.
This rivalry (ant vs termite) is more ancient than Roman empire infact many more empires.. also this battle can be found in every backyard, also termites are literal engineers in soil, sometimes build too much into our homes..😂😂

' that is a wrong grammar word... bugs / insects are NOT '' who ''... right word is a '' WHICH '' one would be winner... '' who '' is a only person... not animal / not bugs-insects

We’re just ganna ignore the baby ant eater falling prey to wildfire? Nature sucks.
