Rooted

The Last Stand (2x3)

:

On the snow-covered slopes of the Andes mountains, a living fossil has been rooted for over a thousand years… the monkey puzzle tree. Its most distinguished feature are the tree’s leaves; dark green, rigid scales with spiny tips that spiral around the tree’s branches. It’s these leaves that indirectly give the tree its name; there are no monkeys found in Chile, but it’s believed that a monkey would find it quite difficult to scale a tree with such hazardous leaves… hence, a puzzle for monkeys.
