Why it's incredible: Pando looks like a forest, but it's actually one giant tree.
Pando is an ancient quaking aspen tree (Populus tremuloides) with 47,000 genetically identical stems, or tree trunks, connected to a vast underground root system. Each stem is a clone of the one next to it and originates from a single seed that started growing up to 80,000 years ago during the last ice age.
