Has anyone been watching this fascinating Eden TV show on Sky? I watched it for a second time last evening, narrated by the former Doctor Who actor David Tennant on Eden HD, and the clarity was far better than when previously seen on normal television. The bit where a fire ant nest is flooded and they form a living raft to float the entire colony to safety is amazing, as it shows the hive mind intelligence swing into action and every ant work together. They even use pupae as floatation devices and build a pontoon bridge of living ants when the colony raft gets near dry land. To watch them floating across a pond of flood water is like us trying to swim across a large lake, as the ants at the front even use their legs to paddle and help ferry this living raft toward the dry bank and safety. ;D Here are the times this progamme can be viewed if you have access to Sky TV uktv.co.uk/Eden/episode/listing_id/139154534/channel_id/3844
