Forest ham
Dwarved by giant trees, two dudes ham it up in the Muir Woods (National Monument). The coastal Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) are among the tallest trees on Earth, reaching heights over 300 ft (100 m). Their biology is intimately tied in with fog, which is responsible for much of their summer water supply during this naturally dry period. The trees have thick bark which enables them to survive periodic fires. The fires help germination of seedlings by providing them a nutrient rich mineral soil substrate. These trees are around 600 years old, but they can live over 2000 years.
