The Astonishing Engineering of Ants: From an 8-Meter-Deep Nest to the Rule of the Queen and Her Worker Army

According to the technology section of Saed News, have you ever wondered what immense world is unfolding beneath your feet? This video captures the unprecedented journey inside an ant colony by mounting one of the smallest cameras in the world on an ant’s body.

Ants are nature’s true engineers. They dig nests as deep as eight meters—equivalent, in proportion, to a three-story building for humans. Within these million-strong colonies, every ant has a role: from caring for the queen’s eggs, with the queen living up to 30 years, to defending the colony against invaders.

Their physical strength is equally astonishing: ants can carry up to 50 times their body weight. For a human, that would be like lifting a car above their head with ease. This video is more than a short documentary; it is a lesson in organization, perseverance, and miniature-scale power.
