Peruvian Amazon ants
An unbelievable number of 43 species of ant can be found on a single tree in the Peruvian Amazon, which is equal to the entire ant fauna of the UK!
The Oldest Trees
The Bristlecone Pine is the oldest known tree species in the world. It is found only in the scattered, arid mountain regions of six western states of America, in a harsh windswept environment. The oldest Bristlecone Pines grow at an elevations of 3,000 to 3,300 metres, and the oldest known tree is 'Methuselah', which is 4,789 years old!
