This video could be the best two minutes of your day... ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Watch this cool video and marvel at the beauty and design in God's creation. It is a tiny little fungus (from the genus pilobolus) that consumes dead or decaying matter. But, in order for this fungus to consume cow poop, the cow must first eat grass that has the fungus spores. The spores then go through the cow, then grow in the poop consuming it, so that it returns to the soil.
BUT, there is a problem...Cows will not eat grass near the poop. The fungus would have a problem... It needs the cow to eat the spores. So... this nifty little fungus becomes a cannonball and shoots its spores up to 2 meters away at a speed of 70 KPH (about 45MPH) Its quite amazing when you consider that cannonball (the sporangium) is less than a tenth of a milimeter wide.
