Trees in a forest communicate and share nutrients through fungal networks in the soil, sometimes called the 'wood wide web.'

A single bolt of lightning contains enough energy to toast 100,000 slices of bread.

Some trees can communicate with each other using underground fungal networks.

Lightning does strike the same place twice — tall structures like the Empire State Building are struck hundreds of times per year.

Your lifetime odds of being struck by lightning are about 1 in 15,000.

Titan arum, the corpse flower, has the largest unbranched inflorescence (flower cluster) of any plant.
