00:00When the ant falls into the sand pit,
00:02A hidden antlion is usually waiting underneath the loose sand.
00:06And as the ant tries to climb out, the walls collapse beneath its feet,
00:11sliding it closer and closer to the predator.
00:13But then the ant lowers its giant jaws against the ground.
00:17The jaws tense up like loaded springs, before snapping shut at an incredible speed.
00:22The impact is so powerful that it launches the ant straight into the air.
00:27And if the jump sends it high enough, the ant can blast completely out of the pit.
