Well, there's a mushroom that has the most bizarre ability to grow inside insects' bodies. Its spores attack an insect (an ant, for example), replace the host's tissue with its own, and then it shoots stems that grow outside of the body. In other words, it takes over ants’ bodies to control their minds? But how exactly does it work? A minuscule, almost invisible fungal spore flutters through the air and lands on the back of an ant. Its body’s covered in armor that protects it from any danger. But the spore attaches itself and creeps between the shield plates. Of course, the unlucky insect doesn't suspect anything and goes home. Few days pass, the ant still feels fine, but the spore inside its body is growing. A week after the infection, the ant begins to behave strangely. It doesn't sleep well, doesn't work hard. And one day, it leaves the colony unnoticed… #brightside Preview photo credit:

The oil tanker was more than 500 ft long and could reach the speed of 18 miles per hour. The first unlucky accident happened to the ship in July 1951. That's when the Pendleton ran aground while traveling along the Hudson River in New York. There wasn't too much fuss about this misadventure. The vessel was refloated the next day. No one knew at that time that the damaged part of the ship's hull would play a crucial role in its tragic sinking. In February of 1952, the SS Pendleton was moving through the blinding snow and raging waves. The tanker was heading south toward Cape Cod. Around 10 miles off the coast, the crew heard a terrifying cracking noise. Suddenly, the ship lurched and broke in two! Despite the dangers that come with seafaring people have always been drawn to the ocean. And if you love shipwreck survival stories, this one will amaze you. The sailors were rescued by members of the Coast Guard on a small lifeboat! #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

The largest oyster in the world is called the Pinctada maxima, and it’s as big as your dinner plate! There are around 7 types of oysters that produce pearls, and each of them gives different colors, shapes, and sizes to their treasures. The ones people eat belong to a different family than shiny pearl oysters. Oysters in freshwater can make a pearl in 1 – 6 years. If they live in saltwater, it takes them 5 to 20 years, almost as long as their lifespan! So how are pearls produced? Well, two ways: the natural route and the cultured one. Natural pearls are very rare to find, and that makes them a lot more expensive. By the way, oysters are really good at filtering water! But don’t try to use them as your kitchen water cleaner, that's not how this works. Okay, here are some interesting facts about oysters that may surprise you. #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Watch more videos in our new App: https://bit.ly/3g9KM8j Until a couple of years ago, most people knew next to nothing about carnivorous plants. If you had asked an expert, though, they would have excitedly submerged you in a sea of information. Meat-eating plants used to munch on tiny creatures – mostly insects, frogs, more rarely a mouse or rat. That is, until recently. Back when days were good, there were just about 700 kinds of carnivorous plants on the planet. They grew all over the world, except Antarctica. Good old plants got most of their food by basking in the sun. But it wasn't enough – they also needed nutrients, which they slurped up with their roots. But carnivorous plants lived in areas with nutrient-poor soil. That's why they started to catch prey. Such a high-protein diet helped them survive and grow faster. Little did we know at that time that soon, life would change beyond recognition. Because when a scientific experiment went way out of control, all plants on Earth became carnivorous! The event even got the name of the Great Carnivorous Disaster… #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

The story is supposed to be a myth, but have scientists finally found the lost city? Not sure about that, but they did find a lost continent! How careless do you have to be to misplace an entire continent? We’ll have to ask our planet about that one. Earth lost what was called Greater Adria between 100 and 120 million years ago. So, how did that happen, and where did it go? The only way to describe the process would be kinda like a snake slipping through rocks or going down into a hole. Most snakes don’t leave trails. And scientists might never have found Adria if it weren’t for the snakeskin. I mean, the mountains… Confused? Let's figure out! #brightside TIMESTAMPS:

Watch more videos in our new App: https://bit.ly/3g9KM8j One day, all the crabs disappeared. People searched in the seas, oceans, lakes, rivers, rainforests. Not a single, live crab… only old shells. Crabs shed, or molt several times during their life. Their body keeps growing, but their shell doesn’t. So they throw off their old "suit" and hide. They sit there in silence until their new one grows. But why did every single crab molt on the same day? Where are they hiding? Crabs dig burrows when they molt. Deep down in the sand, they’re protected from predators and bad weather. This time, something weird happened. They hid way deeper than ever before, so they had more time to grow. For 6 months, they’ve been sitting and waiting for their new shell to grow. And they grew so large that small shellfish and algae are just not enough, and they want more food… Okay, this is one more crazy what-if question for those who love hypothetical scenarios. So, what if our oceans were filled with giant crabs? #brightside Preview photo credit: Marmaris/Turkey – July 2019: Marina in Marmaris, bird's eye view photographs: By Budilnikov Yuriy/Shutterstock.com, https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/marmaris-turkey-july-2019-marina-birds-1471367708
