2 Episodes 2009 - 2009
Episode 1
We investigate the impact of swarms of creatures on the population. Highlights include killer bees mounting an attack on a football match in Costa Rica, a sea of mice raiding farms in South Australia and 10 million starlings flying over Rome.
Episode 2
In the episode we look at how animals swarming together create a collective intelligence. Huge shape-shifting shoals of herring use swarm intelligence to detect predators. Billions of alkali flies form a rolling wave to evade the gaping mouths of gulls. Millions of free-tailed bats form a living tornado and still manage to keep from colliding with each other.
