"Park Ranger Discovers 2-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Evergreen Grove, Dubbed 'Find of the Century'"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Good News Network
A park ranger in Australia discovered a grove of 90 Wollemi pine trees, which are believed to have evolved 91 million years ago and were thought to have gone extinct 2 million years ago. The National Parks and Wildlife Service has been working in extreme secrecy to plant the slow-growing pine trees in other locations to ensure their survival. The level of security around the trees is high, with unauthorized entry punishable by law, and efforts are being made to ship seedlings across the world to botanical gardens in order to save the species from extinction.
