I thought I was going to see an epic battle between a thousand ants and a giant crab on a rampage. Instead I literally watched some poor unsuspecting crab on a pilgrimage get subjected to chemical warfare and then blindly wander around as it slowly dies... Jeez.

@skifisk 2 года назад

same :D I expected to see a genocide of hundred or thousand crabs attacked and swarmed by millions of ants and even pushed to water ..

@MNanme1z4xs 2 года назад

Ant don’t need a swarm tactic to kill these crabs. 1000 ants can easily kill 1000 crab, not only that, ants can even kill large number of crabs with a number disadvantage, 1000 crabs is not likely to survive even 100 ants. There is no way for crab to defend, no coordination, not even sense danger until too late. The ants can kill them one after another, dead crab will also attract other crabs for free food, which they soon will join the pile. The road kill explodes their casualty when more crabs stay on road for free crab, and the next vehicle create even more dead crabs ready to eat.

Videos like this makes me wonder; is it reasonable to take out endangered species from their natural habitat to be made as pest control, effectively solving both problems simultaneously? For example, the ants here are killing native wildlife at an alarming rate because they have no predator to control their numbers. So how about we capture some pangolins, which is endangered in their own natural habitats because of things like deforestation and poaching, and introduced them here so that they could control the ant population? Since they only eat ants, they do not pose a threat to any native wildlife. And in return, they get to settle down and repopulate in a much safer habitat.

The problem with that is the new species might cause issues for other species. I don't know the specifics of this island, but if they have their own natural ants the imported pangolin could be a destructive force against them. An ecosystem is tough to balance

It usually doesn't work out. Look into how moving mongoose into hawaii worked out.

Christmas island is overflowing with sleepless coconut crabs with a freakishly good sense of smell. The pangolins would be eaten while trying to sleep. Just like the birds.

Sometimes stuff like thats done, but it doesnt always work out as planned or may have adverse affects

@collection6062 3 года назад

@@firedoom666 I'd say thats NORMALLY true (the predator ends up killing the native wildlife instead), however in this case... I'd say pangolins may be perfect. They are already endangered. This idea just feels different. I think they should give it a go.

What about the other ant colonies, surely the yellow ants eventually would battle the red ants and so on?

Most other ant species don't stand a chance. It's their sheer numbers and the fact that they have way more queens than other ant species. I kill them by the millions on my property every season.
