@sk.studio727: Nara: The Melon That Built a Desert World — No Leaves, No Rain, No Problem? 🍈 In the oldest desert on Earth, where it can go years without a single drop of rain, there grows a melon — a melon with no leaves, no farm, and no farmer. 🍈 Meet !nara, the wild Namib melon whose name means "more than enough food". It has no leaves at all, drinks from water hidden fifty metres underground, builds hills of sand two thousand square metres wide, and feeds at least twenty-six kinds of animals plus a whole human culture — the ≠Aonin of the Kuiseb, who have guarded it, family by family, for eight thousand years. How does a plant with no leaves feed itself? How does a melon survive where rain sometimes never comes? And why have people guarded this one plant, family by family, for thousands of years? Watch to the end for the answers — and a tree they call the miracle tree, coming tomorrow.
