Did you know that there is a type of fungus that can control the minds of ants? Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, also known as the "zombie fungus," infects ants and takes control of their bodies, causing them to climb to high locations and bite onto a leaf before producing spores that can spread the fungus.

This fungus essentially turns the ants into "zombies" to help spread its own spores!
