I only rarely post National Geographic videos for the Sunday Night Movies because of the awful narration. This guy was trying to be Attenborough, but at least he’s a laudable role model.
The simple omission of added attention-grabbing “CRASH” “POING” “SCHOOOOOOOM” sounds is astounding in this day and age. Also the lack of “life-and death battle” action narration actually makes it bearable.
Two questions: What are the exclusive termite feeders in temperate deciduous or mixed forests, like the NJ Pine Barrens? Do all termites have nitrogen-capturing symbiotes, or just the families that are fungus gardeners?
It appears that the video was not posted! Sounds interesting, though!
Maybe this?

Ok. I’m totally inept at this whole “blogging” thing.
But the video should be fixed now.
Ha! We should all be so “inept”!
While I’m at it, the narrator may impress some as an Attenborough wannabe, but I think he did a good job.
Termites are veritable ecosystems!
