Some other animals too. Especially Turkeys can also get into a "death spiral" similar to ants!
Turkeys? Some of us have their own death spiral to worry about.
Death spiral sounds like something you'd do at a metal concert
Turkeys will eventually break out of the circle as they get hungry, they stay in the flock because they feel safer in numbers, and are dumb enough to forget who's leading. Buy they won't march on to their own death unless food is incredibly scarce.
Ants just aren't self aware, and don't have enough brain cells to realize they could just break off and take a snack break if they wanted.
