The Red Ant is the twelfth episode of the first season of the animated series, The Great Book of Nature.

Plot[]

Four acorns are sent by their mother, the oak tree, to “conquer” a mountain devoid of vegetation. One of the acorns is exhausted by the trek towards the mountain, so it stops along the way to hitch a ride with a frog crossing the river on a leaf. When the acorn reaches the other bank, however, it realizes that there are still many obstacles to overcome on the trail to the mountain and so decides to set its roots in the valley.

While the forlorn acorn grows with difficulty at the mercy of the forces of nature, its three brothers grow into sturdy oaks on the mountain. Thanks to the help of a friendly bulldozer, the lonely acorn manages to join up with the other members of its family, and together they sprout into one of the most verdant oak forests ever seen.
