Just reading part of the intro on Amazon.

 

"10 to 15 meters wide and 2 meters deep" ... two meters DEEP?

Does it really mean depth or is that more like ... uh ... anyway "two meters deep" is scary.

I once heard something like 6 meters deep for driver ants. Not sure how much to believe but I'm sure there's some kind of truth to it.
