Moss reproduces with air gun
A common species of moss uses a unique method of reproduction. As the sun shrinks its spore-containing pods, they shrink into am airtight tube shape. When the pressure inside gets too high, the lid blows off, and air comes out in a vortex ring (like a smoke ring) blasting spores upward into the wind at 144 km/h.
Thant's not a misprint. The moss blows its spores into the air at Autobahn speed. It's hard to say moss is cool...but this is cool.
