Zombie Ant

This certain kind of ant is tropical. It lives high up in the canopy of the rainforest. And when infected with a parasitic fungus it becomes twitchy and zombie-like. The experiment is tested on Thailand's carpenter ant. The fungus is actually able to support itself in the end. Freaky huh!


This is really weird!! And first of all they better not ever put this in a person. The first thing wrong and we're looking at a zombie apocalypse. Well maybe they'll keep it to the ants. Thanks for reading :)
