REAL ZOMBIE ANT 😨 (The Fungus That Controls Minds)Added:
There is a fungus that can take control of your body. It starts by infecting an ant, and at first nothing [music] seems wrong. But slowly, the fungus takes over the ant's nervous system and begins controlling its behavior. It forces the ant to leave its colony and wander away from the others.
>> [music] >> Then it makes the ant climb high onto a plant and lock itself in place. After that, the [music] ant dies and the fungus grows out of its body, releasing spores to infect more ants.
