On our second trip to Tikal, we notice two different ant trails; one large black ants and the other smaller leave cutter ants. They finally came to an intersection and the smaller ants had a tough time crossing the faster bigger black ant highway. Jay and I watched them for a long time, once in a while picking one up by the leave and setting them on the other side. Here's the video of them trying to cross. Finally, Jay made a bridge from a twig, and they used it! Tikal is amazing for all of the different worlds they live under the rainforest. It's not a Cohen Brothers film by a long shot, it's actually one of the first I did with our digital camera. Watch and you will see one of the leave cutters make it through!
