Highly irritating presenter who seems to think he is as important as the content. Get off the screen and let us concentrate on the beasts!

By the way, these ants are called safari ants or driver ants (also known by their African name, siafu)

Thats just more bullschit theory taught in the way of being fact for happening the way you claim it did. Ants didnt evolve to work together. Their dna was encoded for them to work together. Show us the direct evidence which proves previous generations of ants didnt work together. Right, there is no direct evidence. Its just you making conclusions merely based on your highly theoretical basis

Packham is too political he should KEEP his Opinions to himself

The only human I want to see in these Nature Documentaries is Sir David Attenborough. Otherwise, just show the animals/creatures

Chickens eat ants... 🧐🎩

Dang! What kind of ants are those that can bite so deep? Fire ants suck bad, but they don’t bite that deep.

I had a big steak last night Chris.. it was delicious

I like this new narrator

Quantity is a quality in itself.

You seem to imply that this was a conscious decision on their part . If so, then why haven't all insects adopted this process if it's so beneficial to their success ? Is it because they lack the ants' mental capacity ?

It will be a sad day when David Attenborough finally hangs up his safari suit. I feel BBC natural history
/science is in more than capable hands with Chris Packham - should he be given the role full time. An excellent presenter.
