“An ant mill was first described in 1921 by William Beebe, who observed a mill 370 meters (1,210 ft) in circumference. It took each ant two and a half hours to make one revolution.”

It’s an oldie but it always makes me piss myself laughing… The desperation in his voice, the absolute ignorance of Fenton *Chefs kiss* perfection.

Deer running in a circle lost connection to the hive mind and keep running in circles until they die. So sad
