Unless you're talking about multiple species of deer.
True, same with fish and fishes. English is fun

Why is it bad when ants do it?
Ants follow eachother in a line so they don't get lost on their way back to the nest. When they've lost track of the scent for any number of different reasons back to the nest they will follow the ant in front of them for guidance eventually turning into a "death spiral" seen in the picture. The ants are lost and will never find their way home and will march to their deaths.
This death spiral/"ant mill" is actually quite short, though still deadly - in the worst case scenarios, a death spiral can be literally kilometers long, some ants might not even make a single revolution around it, which is kinda terrifying to think about.
I'm not an ant, so it's not really scary at all to me.
You don't follow the pheromones of fellow humans when you lose track of home?
I did once, but I got arrested.
And banned from Sea World?
:(
Makes you wonder why they’d shout hurrah in that situation.
They run in that circle until they die because they're all following the one in front of them.
Can’t you redirect their focus by dropping something nutritious nearby?
You probably could and that might redirect their focus for a bit, but I would think if they've lost the scent/trail back to their hill (which is the original cause for the death spiral in the first place), they're permanently fubar'd, since they'll never find their way back unless by accident. It might just delay the inevitable.
I would assume you could redirect them to where the scent trail is present/stronger again, i.e. very close to their hill.
They're just following the trail of pheromones ahead of them. It goes around in circles so they'll just walk and walk until they die of exhaustion.
Never heard about it so had to read up on it, it's as obscure as a rat king to me.
rat kings are mostly fake though
Current sience says it's very rare, but can happen naturally. There are multiple confirmed modern sightings.
I did say "most," 1963, 2005 and 2021 are the only real ones I can find.
Compared to there being dozens in the 17th and 18th centuries
I imagine we did more rat watching back then.
They didn't have YouTube.
RatTube. Where it's just, you watch a tube with rats in it.
Like a kaleidoscope!
But this one eats you when you look down it! Hooray!

You've heard of a cuddle puddle well this is a trample yo motherfucking ass circle. It doesn't rhyme but it's super effective.
