Nature has provided evidence of the existence of "virus" zombies on animals.

A number of trust believes in the existence of zombies, the undead are employed as slaves. Hollywood version more gruesome horror fiction, creature even like to eat human brains. While the existence of the “virus” zombies in humans has not been confirmed scientifically, nature has provided the proof. In this form of the parasite that takes over the animal.

These are five examples of horrific zombies in the animal kingdom:

1. Victim: spider

Types of spiders argyra Plesiometa is really bad luck. Spiders native Costa Rican who just want to catch some small insects to eat, his body actually taken over by parasitic wasps.

Wasp larvae that grow in the spider’s body and control. Rather than build their webs, spiders spend the last night of his life to make a soft cocoon that will be home to the killer.

When completed pupae, larvae will kill a spider and stay safe in a cocoon, on the predators that roam the rainforest land.

2. Victim: crab

This is a story about a crab meet barnacles. A barnacle Saccculina want to nest in the shells of crabs, finding a way to go.

When the eggs hatch into larvae, he ate a cockroach helpless, from the inside out. A month later, the adult wasps fly from the “crime scene”, leaving the carcasses to rot.

5. Victim: insects jointed (pill bugs)

Insects These look cute and harmless, before finally taken over by parasites “Nefarious acanthocephalon” (Plagiorhynchus cylindraceus).

Parasites that live in the intestines of starlings, and removed through the dirt. When the dirt was eaten by insects, parasites that enter the body, then took over the insect brain, making its host doing crazy things. One of them, making it visible to predators, starlings.
