Ever wondered how fungi turn ants into zombies?

Here's a tale straight out of a horror movie! In the Amazon rainforest, a parasitic fungus called Ophiocordyceps infects ants, hijacking their nervous system. The fungus forces the ant to climb high onto a leaf, where it bites down—hard—and dies. But the real nightmare begins after: the fungus sprouts out of the ant's head, releasing spores to infect more victims! It’s nature's creepiest takeover.
