Чи можуть термітники жити тисячоліттями? | Can termite mounds last for millennia?

“Termite mound” can refer both to a structure and to a long-lived colony site—and those are not always the same thing. Some termite structures reach roughly five to six metres, while certain mound-like formations associated with termites accumulated over centuries or even millennia. But it is not accurate to say every mound is continuously built for hundreds of years: lifespan and formation vary greatly by species and environment.
