Animals often act under the hidden control of parasites that hijack their bodies and minds for the parasite's own benefit. From tapeworms making shrimp gather in bright, flamingo-attracting swarms to wasps turning caterpillars into zombie bodyguards, manipulation is common in nature. Some parasites even alter the behavior of mammals, with one in three people estimated to carry a brain parasite called Toxoplasma. These invisible forces challenge our ideas about free will and the true drivers of behavior in the natural world.
