La Vie dans les sous-bois: Supersocieties

SYNOPSIS

David Attenborough explores how insects compensate for their small size by banding together in vast numbers. He reveals that the operations of many of these societies are so finely tuned they appear to work as a single entity. Footage shows how African termite mounds act as huge ventilation systems of such sophistication that humans are only just unravelling the mechanics of the structure.
