Some trees are capable of living a surprisingly long life, which neither people, nor birds, nor animals can dream of.
A number of representatives of their species, in the absence of interest from humans and pests, can live for more than a thousand years.
Which trees are considered the most ancient?
Few people know that in one of the American parks you can see with your own eyes a tree that grew before our era: experts estimate its age at five thousand years.
The pine tree can boast of such an impressive lifespan. Since the tree can rightfully be called unique, it even has its own name - the pine tree was called Methuselah.
Scientists were worried that close attention from travelers could harm the ancient pine tree. Therefore, only a select few know where exactly Methuselah "lives".
Another interesting fact is that other ancient trees can be found in this area, although they are still far from the pine record.
