You're WRONG About the Bullet Ant - The Worst Sting Debunked (ft. @JacksWorldofWildlife)

There is perhaps no insect on Earth as infamous as the bullet ant, and with all of the myths and stories that surround these animals it’s not hard to see why. It’s often said that bullet ants are highly aggressive and will actively try to sting anything that gets too close, and what’s worse, their sting is allegedly so painful that it feels like being shot by a gun. But do they really deserve this fearsome reputation, or is there more to these incredible insects than we give them credit for? Our mission today is to find out exactly that, but to do so we’ll have to put ourselves, and these ants, to the ultimate test. I hope you’re ready, because on this adventure we may have gotten more than we bargained for.

We’d like to extend a massive thank you to Jack ​⁠​⁠‪@JacksWorldofWildlife‬ for inviting us to join him for this sting test and sharing his footage with us. Believe it or not this was actually a lifelong dream for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner to share this experience with. Jack is an exceptional wildlife educator who makes some of the highest quality wildlife content on this platform, you absolutely have to head over to his channel to see all of the amazing work he does.

Another huge thank you goes out to JJ ​⁠​⁠‪@Ecotasia‬, who generously provided their incredible footage that was instrumental to making this video. Their work is seriously underrated, be sure to check out their channel for some of the most fascinating wildlife content I’ve seen anywhere. The same can be said for Spencer ​⁠​⁠‪@MyWildBackyard‬, without his footage and guidance in the production of this video it never would have come together so well. And last but certainly not least, we want to thank Emilio ​⁠​⁠‪@AnimalEncountersEP‬ for making this whole trip possible, it literally never could have happened without his expertise and generosity. Go give everyone’s channels some love, if you like what we do here I’m certain you’ll absolutely love everything that these outstanding creators do.

All animal interactions on this channel are performed by wildlife professionals, and we routinely receive assistance from local wildlife experts and guides during production.
