It is probably not a coincidence that the single celled creature they 
used for this was an ancient flagellate. They were the first living 
things to actually have a viable protein motor of sorts and a whip tail 
which gave them their name.

Last common ancestor still with genes close enough to work in a mammal.

There may well be fungi or slime moulds similarly capable of this trick.
