Cordyceps fungus infiltrate their insect host, where their hyphae then grow into the insect's body and absorb nutrients from non-essential organs while controlling the insect's brain. When the fungus is ready to reproduce, it directs its host to march to a cool, moist location in the forest where spores erupt through the insect’s head to spread in the wind.

These beautiful Bromeliad plants use their specialized roots to cling to tree trunks and branches taking nothing but support from trees; drawing their water and nutrients from air and moisture that accumulates between their leaves like tiny little cups, storing water for later.

Orca whales hunt seals, sharks, and penguins for their food.

Aphids produce a sugary substance that ants love. Ants protect the aphids from predators and parasites.
