An oldie but a goodie 🌳 These ancient trees have endured over 200 million years in harsh, fiery climates. Today, the monkey puzzle trees in Chile’s Valdivian Forest may be up to 1,000 years old.

Who wrote monkey puzzle must know it's offensive. Learn and name It Araucaria/pewén. You are the monkey 🙉

@natgeotv if you’re purpose is to educate you can use the real name of the tree.

expected more from national geographic than to use a completely foreign name for this tree when the scientific name is the same as the Spanish name for it...
