It only makes sense for plants that live for hundreds of years to figure out ways to survive at all costs, especially when all they really need to survive is water and sunlight, but trees make the art of survival look easy.
Their resilience and ability to thrive in otherwise inhospitable conditions have inspired people throughout history, but this little tree was apparently inspired by two humans named Paul Simon + Art Garfunkel.
We must assume trees are going to be alive and thriving on Earth well after mankind has disappeared, because even though humans keep chopping them down trees refuse to lie down and die.
