The structure of this ant colony covers 538 square feet and travels 26 feet into the earth. In it’s construction, the colony moved 40 tons of soil. Billions of ant loads of soil were brought to the surface. Each load weighed four times as much as the worker ant, and in human terms, was carried over 1/2 mile to the surface.
In the video scientists pour 10 tons of concrete into the colony to learn about it’s structure.
Amazing!
