Termite nests covering a surface as big as Great Britain

  • Termites Brazil
The termite mounds are up to 4 meters high
 

Scientists have discovered a termite mound the size of Great Britain in the Caatinga vegetation in northeastern Brazil. The surface covered by 200 million termite mounds is so large it can be seen from out of space. The amazing part about all of this is, the mounds are between 700 and 4,000 years old, and no one has noticed them until now.
