Plants typically use one of three methods to disperse seeds - wind, water, or animals. Not the Erodium cicutarium or as it is often called "stork's bill." This dynamic plant uses a powerful mechanism called "ballistic dispersal," to transport its seeds over 500 yards away. Though that is certainly impressive what happens after, is even more so.

        My mom said that they used to find them on the ground, and when you pulled them out, and put them in the sun they would twist and untwist themselves. I have never seen one in person.
