'For the past several years, a group of researchers has been observing a seemingly impossible wood ant colony living in an abandoned nuclear weapons bunker in Templewo, Poland, near the German border. '
'The sheer numbers of dead bodies suggest that this orphaned wood ant nest has been active for many years. '
'Eventually a massive colony of wood ants took up residence in the soil over the bunker. '
'The survivors have nevertheless carried on for years underground, building a nest from soil and maintaining it in typical wood ant fashion. '
'Life in an abandoned nuclear weapons bunker is nightmarish, even for the humble ant. '
