Wildlife Specials: The Spy

Superswarm: One Million Heads, One Beautiful Mind (1x12)

Air date: Jan 01, 2009

Extraordinary photography reveals the incredible collective intelligence behind these invasions. All unite as one and act like a giant organism controlled by a single brain. Fire ants invade and destroy computer equipment and, when their nest is flooded, create living rafts with their bodies. One swarm is even helping to save the planet from the Greenhouse Effect.
