Snail Zombies and Parasite Behavior

The video explores the fascinating lifecycle of the lucco chloridium worm, which turns snails into 'zombies' to complete its reproductive cycle. The worm manipulates the snail's behavior, making it more visible to birds, which then eat the snail and spread the parasite. Interestingly, infected snails may live longer than uninfected ones.
