this is true
There is a single
cell soul living amoeba called the
Dictyotrillum discoideum. When
resources are low, an ameobae will send out a signal to other little Dictyostelium
discoideum, who will signal others as well, and all of the little dudes will
start crawling towards eachother until they meet and become ONE SLUG, which is
now a single organism. It crawls until
it finds a sunny and windy spot. When it
finds a destination, it stops , and 20% of the slug break off and become a
stalk, which hardens. In doing so, the
20% of the population dies. The
remaining 80% crawl to the top of the stalk and create an orb. From there, the orb catches a breeze and
drifts away.
