Scientists thought they understood the zombie-ant fungus, the mind-controlling parasite that hijacks ants and turns them into zombies. They were wrong. Deep in the Amazon, a new strain has been found, and it's acting completely differently.[Ophiocordyceps] In this video, we break down what this fungus REALLY does, why this new mutation is freaking scientists out, and whether this real-life Last of Us nightmare could be just the beginning. If you love creepy nature, real horror stories, and wild science discoveries from the Amazon, hit SUBSCRIBE and ring the bell. You don't want to miss what we find next. Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ----------------
