'Born Impact': Small But Terrible
Born Impact
Small But Terrible
Airing date: December 15, 2013
9:30 AM, GMA-7
This Sunday on" Born Impact," delve into the small world made big through advance lenses, into the forest’s cute but sometimes creepy and harsh macro world.
In a world hidden from ordinary sight, a colony of termites has been building a mud tunnel inside a tree. This will stand as a safe fortress for their clan. But a number of army ants, the termite’s predator and archenemy, have penetrated the fortress. The termites must defend or be eaten. A critter war ignites.
Meanwhile, some tiny caterpillars are up early for the day’s giant task. They must coordinate their bodies and work in sync, to be able to fold one big leaf that will serve as their hideout for the rest of the day. But if one is not too careful, one of them can fall prey to fire ants. In fact, just below them, hundreds of tiny but notorious fire ants carry their hunt for the day, a giant helpless caterpillar.
Unbeknown to man, the tiny macro world holds the forest together, as decomposers and main food source of larger animals; their disappearance can be cataclysmic. Indeed they are small, but their function in the forest makes a big difference!
Learn more about them on "Born Impact," this Sunday, after AHA!
