The amazon army ants raid nests of certain black ants and carry back cocoons and larvae to their own homes. When the cocoons hatch, they will become the slaves of these army ants and do all their work.
it looks like their moving their hive, DO NOT EVER cross their path, you will die, you will be paralyzed very fast and dead within a few minutes. Especially if they are on a raid.
@Nightmare200X i don't think those ant will kill us. we can escape them easily and their stings wont paralyze us and they will go"great,i hate humans,we will hunt horse or snakes instead"
youarepwned, you are an idiot. If some giant came and stepped on your house would it be wrong of you to try and defend it? What a big man you are, first crushing the ants' home then poisoning them. Moron !
From what I can remember, the wierd thing about that fact is that the soldier ants with thier large, fishhook like jaws can only peirce the fles, it is up to the workers to actually dismember the prey. Or chew a person.
They are definetly more organized than us, they are built for organization and cooperation. They live to serve their colony, and each has a job that they will not/cannot quit unless they die or are incapacitated in some way.
Also, I once stepped on an anthill without realizing it, and a bunch of ants put their mandibles on my skin (without my permission), and squeezed. This is referred to as assault. If a human did this, they'd go to jail. But, the ants made some kind of a deal, and got away with it. So, I decided that if the ants can be above the law, then why not me? So, I committed genocide and poisoned the nest. Pwned!
The ants are an army ant called Eciton hamatum. You can tell by their red color. The white stuff they are carrying is probably their own larvae. They are nomadic and move almost every night to a new home. Nice footage!
u can escape but if u sleep in amazon rainforest the ants eat u

I would LOVE to see Army Ants face off against Driver ants... unfortunately, one is in South America, the other one is in Africa.

these ants have the mass and jaw strength to tear flesh and devour human people.
It's been documented but rarely.

The most organized and aggressive animal IMO. Thank God they are relatively tiny. Imagine if they were the size of a small dog.

I meant they aren't as aggressive as us. They are certainly more organized.
themediocrity 4 years ago
Atleast they're not aggressive towards humans. They feast on insects and only ever attack humans in defense.
MetroidJunkie2007 4 years ago
NOT TRUE! I once saw a documentary where a giant species of ants attacked humans just for the heck of it!
