This epsode was about animals that are turned into living zombies. I heard the most incredible story of a certain parasite *of course I can't remember the name but hey, I can look it up later*. Basically, a parasite takes over an ants brain and makes the ant climb to the edge of a blade of grass and hang on the tip of it. The ant can stay on the tip for up to 8 days! Typically insects don't stay at the edges of leaves cause mamals like to nible these parts. Their example was a rabbit. So the rabbit eats the ant and the parasite. the parasite then moves to the liver of the rabbt and reaches it's adult form. Then it lays thousands of eggs that the rabbit well, poops em out. So, now there's all these parasite eggs everywhere. The strange thing is, these eggs will not hatch unless eaten by a snail. that's right...a snail. So the egg(s) hatch and the larva goes itno the snails lungs. The snail's immune system covers the parasite in mucus. Eventually so much builds up that it has to cough up the mucus ball. And guess what....snail mucus seems to be a fave on the food list of ants. And thus the cycle begins a new. weird huh?
