The zombie fungus from The Last of Us is 100% real. 🍄🧟‍♂️ Meet Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. It doesn't just kill ants; it hijacks their brains and controls their bodies. The fungus forces the ant to march away from its colony and clamp onto a leaf in a permanent "death grip" before exploding out of its head to infect others. Nature is a horror movie. 😱 #Cordyceps #TheLastOfUs #ZombieFungus #NatureIsScary #ScienceFacts #Ophiocordyceps #Fungi #Microscopy #Ants #Biology #ScienceNightmares #Click

The zombie ant fungus, Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, infects carpenter ants. Spores attach to an ant, invade its body, and control its movements. The ant leaves its colony, climbs vegetation, and bites a leaf or twig in a death grip. The fungus kills the ant, grows a stalk from its head, and releases spores onto the forest floor. Other ants get infected, continuing the cycle. This parasite shows how microorganisms manipulate animal behavior for their own survival and spread.
