1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:04,799
today we're going to learn all about ants
2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:08,960
oh it's about time thank goodness what do you mean gus
3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,960
mikey and millie and aunt barbara have been asking for years for us to make a
4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,160
video all about them all about aunts and uncles not those aunts gus the insect
5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,000
ants oh okay well then who's going to tell
6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,920
aunt millie then because it sure is not
7
00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:25,920
going to be me
8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:34,719
there are about 20 000 different species of ants and ants can be found on every
9
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:42,320
single continent except antarctica hey guess what did you know that ants
10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,960
live in enormous colonies called a formicary
11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,440
and these colonies have millions of ants living in them
12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,840
imagine trying to find a place to sleep at night wow that would be
13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:02,719
hard each ant colony has three different types of ants
14
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:08,720
there is the queen who runs the entire colony
15
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,479
for her entire life all she does is continues to lay eggs
16
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:20,000
i think i know what she looks like she
17
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,000
looks like those white birds at the farm
18
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:28,880
so when the queen ant dies the whole colony dies too
19
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,360
the second type of ants are the males also called drones
20
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:42,320
male ants are much smaller than the females and also have longer antennae
21
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:47,730
male ants have wings and their only job is to mate with the queen
22
00:01:47,730 --> 00:01:53,119
[Music] and once they mate with the queen they
23
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:56,720
die a week or two later
24
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:04,479
the third type of an is a female worker they find food take care of the eggs
25
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:10,399
tend to the babies or larva as well as build the anthill repair the nest and
26
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:17,840
even act as soldier ants soldier ants protect the colony and will
27
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,360
even attack other ant colonies and we mentioned one of these a
28
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,280
moment ago but the ant life cycle has four stages of development
29
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,319
egg larva pupa and adult
30
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:39,120
the queen lays the eggs which will hatch into larvae in a few
31
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,160
days the larvae are just like babies and are
32
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:50,239
fed and cleaned by the worker ants until they pass through the pupil stage this
33
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:56,400
is kind of like a teenager ant a week or so later the adult ant will
34
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,760
emerge and the metaphor says i think you mean metamorphosis what
35
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,840
amorphouses is finished
36
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,120
most ants build a type of mound or anthill that they live in
37
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:20,239
most mounds are built of dirt or sand but some really smart ants use twigs to
38
00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:25,760
make them even stronger and if i had arms i'd flex but i can't so i'll just
39
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,480
make this face
40
00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:33,360
other ants live in logs or trees that have fallen down you got something your
41
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,680
teeth carpenter ants build nests in logs or
42
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,680
even houses where do they keep their hammers
43
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,680
hammers carpenter ants hello
44
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:51,120
these carpenter ants actually don't use hammers gus they chew through wood to
45
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,959
make nests which can also cause damage to houses
46
00:03:56,959 --> 00:04:02,720
an ant's home is really neat okay hold on can i ask you a question yes when you
47
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,840
say that an aunt's home is really neat do you mean really sophisticated or very
48
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,239
clean
49
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:15,599
so that's the kid oh what did you say again sophisticated oh sophisticated
50
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:19,440
okay perfect they have many different tunnels that
51
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,320
connect all the rooms or chambers together
52
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,840
some of these sophisticated chambers are used to store food while some are used
53
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:36,240
to look after little baby ants it's kind of like an ant nursery school
54
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,080
so you might be wondering what is the body of an ant made up of
55
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,280
most ants are black or red but some species are green or look almost
56
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:50,400
metallic like what they carry guitars that bend
57
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,720
their heads
58
00:04:53,260 --> 00:04:58,560
[Music] an ant's body has three parts the head
59
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,720
the trunk and the metasoma which is the rear of the ant
60
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,560
an ant's body is covered with a tough armor called the exoskeleton
61
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,160
ants also have six legs that are all attached to their trunk
62
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:22,720
ants have amazing vision because they've got many different lenses in their
63
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:29,039
actual eyes and ants do not have ears instead they
64
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:33,440
feel vibrations from the ground through their feet
65
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,759
ants also have antennae which also let them hear
66
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:44,160
taste touch and smell they also use their antennae to touch
67
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,160
one another and talk to each other in their aunt language
68
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:56,479
ants have a pair of large strong jaws on their head that open and shut sideways
69
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:02,400
like a pair of scissors ants cannot chew and swallow solid food
70
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,360
like we do so ants swallow the juice by squeezing
71
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,479
pieces of their food then they toss the dry part away and
72
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:18,560
look for something else tasty to eat hey guess what did you know that ants
73
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,520
don't have lungs they actually breathe through tiny little holes that cover
74
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,000
their body when ant colonies need to move
75
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,840
find some food or since there is danger nearby they leave a special trail that
76
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:40,400
has a scent called pheromones so other ants in their colony can follow
77
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:46,880
ants have lived on earth for more than 100 million years
78
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,039
now that may be a long time but a single ant
79
00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:59,919
only lives for about 45 to 60 days hey guess what ants can carry up to 20
80
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:05,599
times their own body weight that's like you trying to pick up a car and carry it
81
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:08,880
to school hey
82
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:15,360
take a look at the people near you or in your classroom because this next fact is
83
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,840
really cool did you know that there are 1 million
84
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,160
ants for every human in the world wow
85
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,639
hey guess what did you know that ants never sleep
86
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:34,479
they spend their entire life awake and working on whatever task they have to
87
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:40,319
complete ants can bite as well as sting and some
88
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:46,879
ants can really hurt you like fire ants and ants in other parts of the world
89
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:51,840
but don't be too afraid if you see an ant running around let it do its thing
90
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,918
you never know it could be simply
91
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,039
bringing back something needed for the huge colony it lives in
92
00:07:59,039 --> 00:08:05,360
well hey guess what now we all know a little bit more about ants
93
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,120
