That was such a cool film. I couldn't believe that fungus growing out of the ants head it looked so incredibley awesome. I wish more people would go on this and see the stuff like this. It is so quality. Thanks again. I hope that fungus doesn't evolve to wipe out humans brains.HAR HAR. GOODBYE
Woah Kevin. Your coment ending was a little scary. But um i still go on this blog and will continue.
Anyways, this video was crazy i didnt really read the overview before watching the video so when the fungus started growing out of the ant's head my mouth dropped and im not even speaking figuratively. I was shocked. Just to imagine that a fungus could control an ant then grow out of it is pretty creepy. It's crazy how many amazing things occur in nature that few people know about
It is NOT cool when it happens to a person. My niece is in a coma from a fungal infection and may not live. And if she does survive, the damage will probably alter her personallity and limit her cognitive abilities.
Is this for sure. It makes my skin hair stand up. Its so yucky but anyways these maybe just edited videos to make it realistic.
ew.... this is so disgusting..
