They lured all the ants away to a new, better colony location using a mixture of watermelon, honey and chocolate syrup. They actually counted and weighed every ant from the original colony to assure themselves and PETA that all of the ants made the transition to the new colony safely. They lost less than one-half of one percent of the ants in the process - an amazing feat in of itself, I think.

Once they removed the concrete structure from the original colony, they recreated the original colony using wax and plaster. The ants were lured back and have successfully resumed their work.

The Himalaya is riddled with roads such as this, although this is an extreme example.

I've spent some time in Kashmir and Ladakh. Some of the roads there would turn your hair white.

Sorry, Alex - will try harder next time.

@PotatoCouch - I heard an NPR piece - probably the same one. It sounds great. I don't know anything about this John C. Reilly fellow, however. Where should we know him from?
