This is apparently a T infected with " Cordyceps"

Does anybody know what that is or have any experience with it?



*note* Not my T, found on Reddit.

This is what I found in Google, it looks pretty scary to say the least. Cordyceps

Yeah I just saw this now and was wondering how real this was...

Ah yes, I know of this quite well. I find the fact that it controls the animals behaviour quite interesting, especially with ants. There is also a species that re-animates dead ants

And this is why I hate mold. But could this realy happen to a T

Oh yes, but unlikely. The things is, there need to be spores around for the fungus to grow. Also, very humid conditions are needed. So it's unlikely to happen to any of our T's UNLESS you happen to handle Cordyrus in a Chinese Market. Oh yes. The Chinese eat it so if you're concerned about Cordyceps, be very careful in Chinese/Asian Markets

EDIT: Here's some more info

First of all, a Reddit Page: www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/v2bpl/tara...cted_with_cordyceps/

Then some more pictures







Now, some of you may know Pokemon. In the pokemon world there is a pokemon called Paras. This is essentially based on Animals infected with Cordyceps



Ant Zombie



Then a video



And finally another Website
