This is the most armed plant I've ever seen

[Lacucarachadefuego]

The Acacia is 95% thorns and decided, “I need more defenses”

[MartinMizner]

tree: I'll provide you everything you ever wanted

tree: *Your soul*

“You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.”

"These ants live in symbiosis"

Also Acacia: "You stay or you DIE"

[Nivee-vz]

This tree monopolizes a population to serve itself, thats brilliant

[bigfishke]

Acacia trees are funny as hell, when it rains it looses all its leaves but when it’s dry the leaves grow back

[Patrick-Inc]

So the plant effectively became a drug dealer

[enchantedbread]

Other plants: Can't run can't hide can't scream, life is good
Acacia: [THORN FORTRESS, BLOOD PACT ARMY]

[BuildBuy]

It's like a fortress that curses anyone who enters into defending it with their life

[StarBoss-]

When i got high as hell, higher than i have ever been, was sitting in the park and the trees had the same presence as a person and every blade of grass was just as monumental as a being itself like they were all equally important in that moment. They are existing in a way we dont comprehend.

Acacia: drink ant, claim your destiny...
Ant: and what, Acacia, must we give in return?
Acacia: *Everything.*

[famouspipegame]

that ain't symbiosis, that's a toxic relationship 💀

[donsolos]

Living in symbiosis...

Tree: leave, i fucking dare you

[ryanh]

Anyone else find it simply amazing that the plant figured this out over thousands of years of evolution. How the F did the enzyme get created and how does the plant know it would work. Nature is mind blowing

[varshasaravanan]

Never have I ever thought that I would hear a plant to be cunning and deceiving

[MistakenAcorn]

Remember, switching to your army of ants is always faster than reloading your spines

[carmcast]

They should call this tree
the Government Tree.

[donavancampbell]

The ants are like "I used to eat acacia to have fun now to have fun i have to eat acacia" 😂

[Dk-exuf]

Ant: just minding its business.
Acacia Tree: Wanna try some crack?
