Nature: Pando
This is Pando, also known as the Trembling Giant, the oldest living thing on Earth. While it looks like there are many different trees, this is actually all one tree! This is because they are all part of the same root system. It is a clonal colony of an individual male Quaking Aspen, and occupies about 108 acres of land. It is about 80,000 years old. Pando is Latin for "I Spread".
