Exploring Pando: The world’s ‘Trembling Giant’ and heaviest living organism

Pando, a massive aspen colony in Utah, is the largest living organism on Earth. It covers over 100 acres and weighs about 6,000 tons. All the trees in Pando are genetically identical and share a single root system. Scientists estimate Pando to be around 80,000 years old. However, this ancient marvel faces threats from overgrazing, climate change, and human activities.
