A fungus transforms ants into real-life zombies, controlling their behavior for parasite reproduction. The infected ant moves randomly before falling from elevated vegetation to the ground. It then bites firmly into a leaf vein, locking its jaws in a death grip. This position allows the fungus to grow and release spores for infecting other ants. Other parasites also manipulate animal behavior to complete their life cycles.
