I Fed COW EYES to My FIRE ANTS

I gave my massive pet fire ant colony, named the Crimson Knights, a pair of uncooked beef eyeballs for Halloween, all in the name of science. Ants are some of the planet's most important scavengers, and breaking down decaying meat of dead animals is their functional niche in the ecosystem, among other things. Watch what happened as the fire ants masterfully break down the beef eyeballs I gave them, despite never before having eaten beef. The process was nothing less than intriguing and the results surprising. Hope you enjoy this week's Halloween episode. This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

    I can’t believe Mikey donated his own eyes to the ants. That’s commitment.
  • @NM-ue8on
    We are getting closer and closer to antscanada feeding a human being to his fire ants …
  • @qwertpoo1
    Giving up your sight shows how committed you are to these ants. Long live the colony!

    15 years later: Hello guys and today I am gonna be feeding my liver to my 10th fire ant colony!
  • @MrMacGee83
    My dude just goes in raw and picks up that eyeball with his bare hands. You a savage.
  • @ivovanroij
    Love how you keep your drinks and PITCHER OF FUNGUS SPORES next to each other. What a legend.
  • @WarriorVirtue
    9:00 Keep a very close eye on that. If they're digging downward, they could breech the bottom of the terrarium.
  • @officialrileyt
    Mikey, I have watched you for years and years, been through three fire ant generations, the yellow crazy ant supercolony, to now, where I believe this is one of the craziest videos I have seen on your channel. Keep up the great work!
  • @ixisnyx6860
    There's an old story about pets well cared for and treated with love becoming effectively spirit guardians of a sort to the owner. Imagine a tide of aggressive insects just having your back the whole time.

    New fear unlocked: Ants eating eyeballs

    20 years later ‘guys I will feed my crimson knights a dead rhino.’
  • those are some really aesthetic eyeballs, i've never seen them so non-vomit enducing
  • @jhanner80
    A time lapse of the ants covering the eyes would have been awesome!
  • @JUSTinsane_W
    I’d be interested I seeing the fire ant colony try a beef patty, a vegan patty, and a lab grown meat patty at the same time to see how they react to each type of ‘meat’.
  • Bro keeps his drinks next to his spare eye balls and some some fungus, i love the way he lives 😂😅

    I didn't want to hear AC say "twerking" this morning.
  • @Lit_Central735
    You can’t say you love your pets unless you donate your eyes to them 💀

    I remember we had to dissect these cow-eyeballs in around the 8th grade in Germany when we discussed the eye in natural science class. You could opt out if you were sensitive, but I did it and found it pretty interesting to see all the layers that we discussed before in theory for myself.
