Natural World
Empire of the Desert Ants
S30 E2:
Against the backdrop of the Chiricahua Mountains in southern Arizona, this remarkable wildlife documentary takes an in-your-face look at the violent world of desert honey ants by charting the fate of a single colony. Over several years, they battle all-comers for survival and dominance over the small patch of desert that is their world. This is a story of murder, cannibalism and genocide.
