About 200,000 years ago, perhaps the first war in human history began.

Homo sapiens fought over territory and

resources with Neanderthals and this led to the gradual extermination of the ladder. But the animals began feuding long before man picked up a stick. And believe me,

their wars have always been just as brutal.

Let's go!!

This is a real ants fortress, impregnable walls of leaves and guards everywhere, a large and very successful colony lives here. But the cooler the colony, the more powerful enemies that are tracks.

If you've seen the habit, you remember what happened to the dwarfs of lonely mountain. For everyone else. Let me explain. When they accumulated too much gold. A dragon flew in said everything on fire and took the gold and the mountain.

Now can you see this spider ? Not a dragon of course. But it came for the same purpose. Ant gold, what they value most is the larva. Now look closely at the spider. His body is suspiciously similar to that of an aunt. Thanks to this. The spider simply sneaks into the most good guarded place of the anthill and quietly steals the larva.

What about the guards? Surprisingly, they don't understand what's going on. Umm,Um, looks like a Steve's brother or his grandmother. Ok, let him go. Wait, be alarm Yeah, let's pretend that's what it sounds like for ants. The colony seems to be in danger and it's not even about a spider. This guard releases special pheromones that summon all the inhabitants of the handheld to war. To war? yes, the most ancient war which is lasted for more than 100

million years.

In fact, ants are very similar to humans. Think about it. Alone and an ant like a man has little chance to succeed. But united, they're capable of incredible things and build large colonies,do their own farming, and just like humans, wage wars so the guard signal alerted everyone about an attack by ants from another colony. There they are. Crawling up the tree, their colony. Is it as prosperous. So they've come to rob and take over someone else's. But ant warfare isn't just about calling the enemy, inviting the defenders of the fortressps, special weapons, acid, canons.

The humans formic acid seems like some kind of funny sour liquid. But in the world of wildlife, it can save the life of an entire anthill. Or look, this huge ant belongs to the species camp on a test GIS and it's considered one of the largest in the world. It can reach 3 centimeters in length.

But the smaller ones are just regular weaver ants defending their stronghold. They have a special strategy to defeat such a giant. First you have to immobilize it. See these guys, while they hold its paws and deprivative resistance, the others quickly bite it and inject poison into the big ant's body and here neither the size nor the powerful jaws will help. The chemical weapon works.

The giant is defeated. After that the last invader dies.Today they managed to defend the fortress, but it would cost hundreds, thousands of ants lives.So yes, everything is in an ordinary war and such battles happen all the time. As I said, ants have been at war for over 100 million years. During this time. They've not only developed weapons but also different professions from night watchmen to barrel of sweet water.

Yes, that's an ants job to be a barrel, what a dream job. But we're interested in the other guys. There they are, big head, powerful jaws, only a soldier and can boast such a set. Moreover, in the Ant army, there are even ranks, for example, this one is a private. The bigger one is a sergeant, and the biggest one is a major. In some families, there are also super majors, which are giant creatures in terms of insects. In general, the larger the ant, the superior it is in rank.

I'm not sure if they respect the chain of command, but who knows .Each species has its own unique weapon. Surely, scientists don't even know about some of them yet, but what if the enemy overcomes all lines of defense and acid cannons and army ants with big jaws? To get an idea of what the options are.

Let's take a look at the attackers. Who the hell are these guys? meet another species of army ants who are nomadic to understand who they are. We need to travel back to the 13th century. That's when Mongol Warriors led by experience. Warlords were the real big problem of the time. Ever heard of Genghis Khan. Many believe that his Warriors didn't even have their own homes.

They simply seized, pondered, and destroyed everything in their path. In reality, of course, everything was a little more complicated, but let's omit this fact. Or you won't get a beautiful comparison. So these army ants also don't have a home.

They don't build anthills, but regularly migrate from one place to another, devastating other ant homes in the process. These are several species that share a love for constant travel and destroying everything in their path.

Look here. They're eating a snake. And here's an unlucky scorpion. Big scissor like jaws plus numerical advantage plus the acid than ants inject into their dinner. Anyone caught by the army ants along the way will be dissolved from the inside and eaten. The only way to avoid a horrible death is to remain completely still.

These ants almost blind and guided only by sound. Look at that. The grasshopper understands what's up. Otherwise, these ants can't be stopped by acid cannons or any other weapon.

Probably human ones, too, because we can't shoot back at them. Can we? So if nomads attack one, colony thenearest neighbors will know about it. Survival depends on it. When one ant hill suffers defeat, the other is in full swing to evacuate everybody. They spotted the army ants and are trying to save the ants most precious possessions,

the very ant gold that all the invaders want to

steal. There's the saving of the larva taking place,

But there are also those who've learned to defend themselves in their own way. See that hatch, that's a gliding aunt. This hatch. Is actually enhanced itself. Most often they settle in a tree, taking cavities and cracks The main feature of these answers that they have a large concave army shield, which plays an important role in protecting the colony from the enemy.

Some species also use it to glide if they accidentally

fall from a great height . So when the same guardian sounds the alarm. These guys cover all entrances and exits with their heads. The enemy just can't get in and strange as it sounds. A regular door is enough to protect them. The thick shit on his plate like a cork closes the entrance.

Well,

-----又～～想啦！靠～～～-----

Army ants waste no time in figuring out its construction. They simply move on and conquer some other anthill. And while we're on the subject of unusual ways of defending the antehill, here's the

fact. Some of the species are easy been able to explode near the enemy. Literally, here, see, this army. It sacrificed itself to save the colony. I don't think answer. Capable of fear, but now look at the other battlefields from above.Why? You can't see anything.

It's just a forest. But only 50 years ago, there was a bloody war between chimpanzees. If you've watched the other videos on my channel, you know the chimpanzees are not just harmless fruit eaters at all. They are cannibals.

Who can not only hunt other primates, but also exterminate entire populations. By the way, close relatives of humans. You can tell, catch it. So this area of the forest was ruled by one large community of chimpanzees, but then an event happened that changed their lives forever. The clan split into two warring parties, one in the North and one in the south for a full 4 years.

These factions fought real battles. The skirmishes went far beyond the usual throwing of stones at the enemy the apes used cunning tactics trapping the enemies in preventing them from escaping.

Moreover, having killed the enemies, the victors would divide them up and eat them right on the battlefield. Jeez, over the years, all the males of one of the groups were killed their females went missing,

and the cubs were forcibly brought to the victors after the victors had completely cleared the others territory.

They took possession of it just like humans. Of course, then another war broke out in, the Klan(母猴子？) had to retreat. But that's another story .We'll see you later.
