Here is the stunning international bestseller in the tradition of Watership Down but with a dark, original twist. Unique, daring, and unforgettable, it tells the story of an ordinary family who accidentally threaten the security of a hidden civilization as intelligent as our own--a colony of ants determined to survive at any cost....

Jonathan Wells and his young family have come to the Paris flat at 3, rue des Sybarites through the bequest of his eccentric late uncle Edmond. Inheriting the dusty apartment, the Wells family are left with only one warning: Never go down into the cellar.

But when the family dog disappears down the basement steps, Jonathan follows--and soon his wife, his son, and various would-be rescuers vanish into its mysterious depths.

Meanwhile, in a pine stump in a nearby park, a vast civilization is in turmoil. Here a young female from the russet ant nation of Bel-o-kan learns that a strange new weapon has been killing off her comrades. To find out why, she enlists the help of a warrior ant, and the two set off on separate journeys into a harsh and violent world. It is a world where death takes many forms--savage birds and voracious lizards, warlike dwarf ants and rapacious termites, poisonous beetles and, most bizarre of all, the swift, murderous, giant guardians of the edge of the world: cars.

Yet the end of the female's desperate quest will be the eerie secret in the cellar at 3, rue des Sybarites--a mystery she must solve in order to fulfill her special destiny as the new queen of her own great empire. But to do so she must first make unthinkable communion with the most barbaric creatures of all.

Empire of the Ants is a brilliant evocation of a hidden civilization as complex as our own and far more ancient. It is a fascinating realm where boats are built of leaves and greenflies are domesticated and milked like cows, where citizens lock antennae in "absolute communication" and fight wars with precisely coordinated armies using sprays of glue and acids that can dissolve a snail. Not since Watership Down has a novel so vividly captured the lives and struggles of a fellow species and the valuable lessons they have to teach us.

Dogs love them!
Color: 3 Colors
Dogs love them! Larger than your average tennis balls, satisfying for my dogs to chew on, the squeak isn't too annoying, colorful enough I can find them in the bushes.

Great product at a great price
Color: 3 Colors
I bought these for my heeler/border collie mix. She destroys every toy almost immediately. They are her favorite toys and plays with them daily. They are still in great shape after 4 months. They have a squeaker, but it is not one of the obnoxious loud ones.

Fun Dog Fetch Balls
Color: 3 Colors
Ordered these for my dog for Christmas and he loves them. He has a blast running up and down the hallway with them. Easy to play with, cute and fun. Not very noisy, I actually didn't know they squeaked until I stepped on one. Very quality and sturdy. Good value for the money. Package arrived timely and as described. Would definitely order again.

Tough ball. Perfect for large chewing breeds.
Color: 3 Colors
My German Shepherd Dog is a year and half old, and she loves these. They truly are pretty indestructible. It took her a little bit to figure out how to squeak it bc they are tough, but now it’s easy for her. They bounce well too. They are larger than a normal tennis ball but a good size for a large dog. Luna is 85 lbs. I would purchase they again, but I probably won’t need to for awhile.

Enjoyable For Our Dogs
Color: 3 Colors
Very durable material. They have a little squish too them for easy pick up for our 50 pound dogs. Our dogs love all balls. They have a little weight to them, but not excessive for a medium to large size dog. We have an English Springer Spaniel and a Goldendoodle. Fun for playtime, but you probably won’t want to throw them around the house.
