its kinda funny, the story of why they are still here now.

before greedy people would have no problem with chopping down entire forests for lumber to sell. when they saw these massive trees they thought they hit the lumber gold mine.

until they tried to cut the thing down. it took 2 weeks of 2 teams of men and "mules" to take the thing down. it was then a bitch and a half to get it out of the forest.

then shipped all the way to the lumber processor or whatever, only to find out that the wood on them is quite terrible. its too dry and brittle to be used for anything. (disclaimer: it might not be completely true but point is it was worthless for what humans could use it for)

also because its so tall it gets hit by lightning all the time, but because the wood is so crappy/whatever it never actually catches fire so they dont burn down.

all other living things on this world had to either evolve to have fierce claws/teeth/poison skin/ natural camo and these trees are just shit quality and that is why they are still standing. well shit to everything else lol, the quality does exactly what it needs to do.
