Notice the very modern arrogance of this video, which assumes that we've already discovered every living thing. "The fastest known living thing" should have been the story.

That goes without saying (one would hope). I still found it amazing.

Interesting.  Thanks for sharing this.

Though, I think a better thread title would be quickest accelerator on Earth.

This is why it's important to watch Top Gear on BBC, as I'm sure Ggreg will agree.

I was thinking "Mantis shrimp" or "Pistol shrimp" when I saw the title.

I still think the fungi spore dispersal doesn't quite count. I mean, the organism itself is not moving that fast.

Look up some videos on those shrimps...that is a bit more impressive than a fungi exploding spores a few metres.
