So the ant climbs up there and clings on because the fungi tells it to once it takes over. That is mind control.
Anyone seen "The Happening" movie? It reminds me of that movie.
Anyway, it is interesting, esp. on the subject of species superiority. Although the fungi is not superior to us, it still shows how it has evolved in a very different direction as us to perform a skil which is clearly exceptional. |
Dude I don't doubt that animals aint exceptional and what you've shown is of course quite impressive in itself.
You know the Dragonfly has a kind of line on its sight which can be likened to the horizontal line in a fighter jets HUD?
Everytime it takes a sharp turn, its wing muscles automatically respond to the level of the line against the actual landscape and adjust its flight accordingly. All this is apparently done subconciously so doesn't even require the Dragonfly to think about it.
