wikipedia link for those who just wanna learn about giant virus’s.
The wildest thing to me is that the viruses that prey on giant viruses work by infecting bacteria/algea, and then waiting for a giant virus to infect it too before it attacks.
The bacteria get infected with an anti-virus virus! It’s just like Norton on computers!
File footage:
They never really explained why they could fly
probably some gas chamber it has, pretty much deflates when they die.
They’re called macrovirus.
Aw, I was hoping for Operation: Annihilate! or maybe The Immunity Syndrome.
The Immunity Syndrome’s example is rather on the extra-large side reminiscent of the giant amoeba from Evolution.
The creatures from Operation: Annihilate! just tend to make me hungry.
You might also enjoy learning about phages
Pox viruses incl smallpox are of this type.
I wonder what the smallest host:virus size ratio is, is there a virus that gets spawned by a cell only big enough to fit 2 protein coats?
wierdly giant viruses mostly infect amoebas, rare instance infecting out unicelluar eukaryotes.
Good. Fuck em
