Slow worm on ants nest near Dunsford Wood
Slow worms will spend large amounts of time in ant nests where their densely interlocking scales seem to render them impervious to attack by these biting insects. Here they have a ready supply of food while the ants provide a degree of protection from mammalian predators such as shrews.
