At least that’s how it appeared to the flyer as she approached from the north. Stretching up over four hundred feet tall, the ancient tree loomed up out of the canopy like a dark green island in a sea of lighter greens. Life cycles as short as a day and as long as centuries.Īnd deep in the thickest, densest part of the biggest stretch of unbroken rain forest, the oldest, largest tree on the planet dominated all. Plant versus plant, plant versus insect versus bird, reptile, mammal, and amphibian.
That selfsame richness served to cover an intense and violent competition for resources that never ceased. A palate of greens ranging through every conceivable shade, the greatest diversity of plant and animal life anywhere on the planet. The jungle was lush and verdant, dense with life and beauty.
