00:00Acacia trees have Wi-Fi, and they hire bodyguards.
00:04Here's how insane this is.
00:06When a giraffe starts eating an African acacia, the tree doesn't just take it.
00:11It releases ethylene gas into the air, like a warning signal.
00:16Neighboring acacia trees smell that gas, and instantly they start pumping their own leaves full of bitter tannins, making themselves
00:23totally inedible.
00:25The giraffe takes one bite and nopes out.
00:27They literally talk to each other to avoid getting eaten.
00:31But it gets crazier.
00:33The whistling thorn acacia doesn't just talk.
00:36It has an army.
00:38It grows hollow thorns and fills them with sugar.
00:42Thousands of angry ants move in.
00:44And in return, those ants become its bodyguards.
00:48If anything touches that tree, even an elephant, the ants swarm.
00:52They bite its trunk, its eyes, everything.
00:55Elephants have learned to avoid acacias with ants.
00:59So yeah, trees with Wi-Fi that make poison and have ant armies that fight elephants.

01:07Yeah.
01:08It does not restrict theinding tree.
