A termite mound is a strong fortress, made of packed earth and saliva. In the Central Highlands of Brazil, millions of insects live inside these towers, with each colony run according to a strict social hierarchy.

I must say that this was one of my favorite videos done by Terra Mater. I truly appreciate the time and effort necessary from your videographers to collect this footage and your writers for compiling the narrative needed for this short, ~6 minute video. As a teacher, this is something I want to find the time to share with my students. As a parent of an infant, this is something I want to save so that I can share with my daughter when she's old enough for it to be salient.

This needs to be longer. It reminds me of an old documentary called "Besieged Fortress"

Life of a termite colony is basically akin to Medieval/Dark Ages. Except Older, Authentic and way more Fun to study.

Someone needs to make a game "Ants vs Termites".
