Natural World: Ant Attack
In a quiet patch of forest, life is about to be turned upside down for its animal residents - the ants are coming. Spiders, scorpions and even forest crabs don't stand a chance. As food runs out, the ants, driven on by the ever-hungry grubs in the nest, have no choice but to attack the not so easily defeated termites. Armed with chemical weapons and fearsome jaws that could crush an ant to pulp, they're the ants' toughest adversaries. From the raw terror of battle to the inner-workings of an ant colony, this is television as you've never seen it before.

Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

0:52 Ants and Termites have been enemies for over a hundred million years.
Like ants and hornets
And ants and spiders
And ants with other ants
DAMN ANTS, THEY RUINED THE SWARM

Imagine being at war with an entire other genus of insects across multiple species with fronts on every single continent except Antarctica.

Imagine being a termite getting some fresh air on the top of the mound at 1:03 and THAT is coming at you.
