When you look at this plant, imagine a wooly mammoth or saber-toothed cat walking by. “What on earth?” you might say…although “when on earth” might be more relevant. This plant was apparently recently grown from fruit tissue dated almost 32,000 years old. Truly amazing. Here’s the story as told by Devin Powell with ScienceNews, sent to me by Sean Brillant, CWF’s Marine Program Manager.
