This beautiful forest is not what it seems.
It's a quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) in Utah, nicknamed Pando. It may *look* like a mass of 47,000 aspens, but it’s actually a clonal organism, connected by a root system over 42.8 ha./106 acres.
But this is not the wildest thing.

Hi new friends. Thanks for all the good vibes. 🙂 I used to be a beekeeper (Apis mellifera). One time I found a swarm of bees on the sidewalk and brought them home. Here's the video.🐝
