Leafcutter ants vs a rose - timelapse

[laschemevo]

Whoa, so does ant agriculture predate our own?

[Ivi-Tora]

Ten million and forty years? Wow. Those closely related ants were decades ahead of all the others!

[egg]

It’s so cool to see such small insects instinctually know to do all these complex things

[szabiTM]

I smelled that rose through the screen

[JakesBrawl]

"leafcutter ants are better known for cutting leaves"
BUT YOU DIDNT HAVE TO CUUUUT ME OOOOFF🗣️🗣️🗣️

[KIKURAsky]

That rose was so beautiful

Now it's gone 🥹

[cykablyat]

Hi, is there a reason why they start at the top leaves and seem to make their way down?

[denniskramer]

Can you please describe the underground living crop of fungus ?
Is that fungus to help feed Aphids by chance so they can milk the sticky bugs excretions?

[philesco]

This is so good! I'm saving the share for st. valentine's day.

[willd.]

I always thought the fungus needed a specific leaf. I guess it doesn't

[lilsheettreybruh]

Wow that’s really specific lol 10, 000, 040 years?! How did they pinpoint that 🤔🤔

[Flugs]

is this short content exclusive to your shorts?

[jarrettglasgow]

How do you know it's been 10 million years? Bet your convinced because you were fooled.

[enfreeze]

So 10 million years ago there were trees and ants?! Don't mix unproven assumptions with science.

[enfreeze]

Lol.. they've been doing this for 10 million years??!! You just so easily pass off assumptions disguised as facts!!
