With those teeny tiny brains they are doing marvellous work! And we humans with big brain are not even close match to them. Who taught them to grow fungus? Who taught them to build big colonies. Where did they get those knowledge. So many questions are overflowing in my mind. But that is how nature works. Every living thing interlinked with one another to survive and support each other lives. And that is what life! Those lessons are something we never find in the text books!

They grab a piece of home. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this)

Well, I guess it's good to know that even tiny cockroaches can find love and a place to call home in this world. Who knew that all they needed was a fungal garden and the ability to mimic the scent of leafcutter ants?

So while hiding underground all she has to eat is her offspring that did not hatch? Is not there something about thermodynamics that says this shouldn't be possible?

Fungus cultivated by leadcutter ants is considered one of the very few, if not the only case of a species being domesticated by something other than humans.

This is a very interesting symbiosis between species. They didn't mention though what's the name of the fungus the ants are cultivating?

For a moment, I thought the fourth species that threatened them all would be humans. I was shocked when I found it who it was!

The poetic nature of these species paired with TED-Ed's amazing animation, writing and narration is a blessing to humanity.

The animation on this one is just incredible. Everything from the style to the way it matches the music is so artfully done
