Reply to comment by paulfromatlanta in Cooperative sperm outrun loners in the mating race. In simulated reproductive tracts of animals like cattle and humans, the behavior increases the chances that groups of cooperative bovine sperm will outpace meandering loners as they race to fertilize a female egg cell, physicists report. by MistWeaver80

Well, they're not sentient or even animals so technically "cooperating" feels like an overstatement - but there is a biological issue the cells overcome by grouping up, mucus and their own inability to swim straight.
