This bizarre-looking weevil is dead and the three antennae-like projections growing out of its thorax are the ripe fruiting bodies of a ‘zombie fungus’. Spreading inside the weevil while it was alive, the parasitic fungus had taken control of its muscles and compelled it to climb. When it was at a suitable height – for the fungus – the weevil held fast to the stem. By the next day, the spores had been released and the fungus had withered, its mission accomplished.

Leopard seals are gnarly. It’s like someone gave a seal some Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde formula.
Yeah true… There not the angels people think they are & hunt ruthlessly as much as anything in those extremes.
Check this out. Worth the watch.
