Termites in the Age of Dinosaurs?!

Turns out, 127 million years ago, termites were already hard at work in what’s now Australia—way down near the South Pole! Scientists just found the oldest termite nest in Oz, hidden inside a fossilized log. These little guys weren’t just eating wood—they were recycling nutrients and shaping ancient polar forests, even during months of darkness. Bonus: their poop is hexagonal! Who knew termites were such OG ecosystem engineers? #FossilFinds #TermiteTales #PrehistoricLife #History
