In today's episode, I travel all the way to Sydney, Australia in search of the notorious BULL ANT. These infamously aggressive ants are known to pack a painful sting, but I wanted to finally learn about and observe these ants in the flesh, especially because Australian BULL ANTS first inspired my lifelong love for ants. Little did I know, in finally meeting them, I was in for a big, painful surprise!

Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

  • As an Australian, I can confirm that these hurt so much the pain is not fun!
  • @charieegg8653
    As an Australian I have kept a variety of different ants including bullants, I’m so hyped that antscanada finally came to Australia.
  • @meaghangarlick10
    No Aussie childhood is complete without at least a dozen or so bites from a bull ant or green ant. But seriously, how could you come to Australia and not tell us in advance for a meet and greet?!

    "Look at it it totally sees me" - famous last words
  • @srinidhi6872
    And i love this type of content.instead of just staying in the ant room going out adventuring to find different ant species is so fun to watch
  • It's so fascinating how they seem intelligent while looking at you and your hand, and interacting with the environment.
  • @jacobwilson2159
    As an Australian, I have been bitten under the undies by one of these and I will never forget the agony.
  • @HeisenbergFam
    So glad you survived Australia, I admire your bravery to go there in the first place

  • @IBW_3000
    Yeah these guys are our national ant for a reason. It’s always fascinating to see them run around the place!
  • @Galacticnoob69
    As an Australian, i have taken multiple bites and stings from the jack jumper ant(Myrmecia pilosula) the bite is nothing but the sting makes you wanna fade into being nothing😂

  • @Johnny_Vee
    Wow! Instead of swarming, the Bull ants were stalking you... scary!
  • @BreadGuy01
    As an Australian, I've never encountered the black variety of Bull Ant before, but I've had some experience with the red variety. You learn very quickly to just leave them alone to do their thing and warn other kids to steer clear if they're in a playground setting. I'm glad to see you're surviving your trip to my fair country and look forward to your next video!
  • I just can’t get over how intelligent they are 1: the one on the stick was curious of you 2: how they looked at you. The intelligence in their eyes Plus also the red ones are so beautiful. These-they are all beautiful ❤
  • @AntsKingdomAsia
    It feels so good to watch Bull Ant featuring in your channel!!! ❤️❤️
  • I've been bitten by the red variety of Bull Ants. As you found out, it is not fun. Ended up being a lot more careful when I found a colony of them on the property my family was renting some years later. As for the other ants... Those little black ones (which you tentatively identified as Chromatogaster) seem to be pretty much everywhere here in Australia. I live in Western Australia, and I've got a colony of them that lives under the path in my front yard.
  • @Mister_O_22
    Even as an australian, and using the metric system, I grew up calling them inch ants. As a kid, before knowing anything about ant keeping, my brothers and I grabbed a few with wings, without any idea the importance that meant. I also caught a queen earlier this year and had it in a setup with fly screen mesh over the top, turns out they can chew through that...
