Apparently, there's this ant that occasionally crawls up cows' noses. It bites it, and the nose swells up. The cow dies because it is too stupid to breath through it's mouth. The ant is known as the cow killer.

Driver ants can envelope and eat cows alive. Even cows of the kow variety.

Scenes in old Western movies where a guy shoots another guy and he gets blown back is impossible. According to Newton's 3rd law, for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. So if that guy is blown back, the gunman has to be blown back as well.

If spirits, or ghosts, materialize, they have to take energy from the surrounding area, making batteries on cameras/recorders go down, and making a certain area colder.

Lancet flukes invade ants, take over their brains, and force to climb to the upper portions of blades of grass, and clamp on, so that they can be eaten by sheep.

Not if the shootee was off-balance, and the shooter was grounded. The ground is absorbing the opposite reaction of the gun.

Yes, but in a normal western movie, the shooter is standing and shooting a large magnum revolver from the hip.

There's a frog that basically makes a foam house and has sex at the same time. The Mud Puddle Frog has a liquid inside it which turns to foam after being shaken, and they use their legs to spread the foam. The foam is used to protect the eggs from predators and to keep them moist.
