Ants pillage termite colony

[ 03:43 ]
African stink ants (Pachycondyla tarsata) embark on a carefully orchestrated exercise to remove as many termites as possible from their underground home, before taking them back to provide food for their own kind. These ants leave a pheromone trail to find their way around South Africa's Blyde Canyon.
