As people have mention resources stuff. I’m just here to say there was one near my house a meter tall and a meter wide. I’m sure if it was dug up there would be a network of caves spanning 5m-10m diameter. Nature is wild.

Maybe it’s not that they don’t stop, maybe it’s just that no one has been around long enough to see one that high.

I always thought the dirt mounds were basically a result of the ants mining out the ground. The dirt has to go somewhere right?
