Of you can watch the first video below, without explanation, and see if you can figure it out for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>First, the video. This is NOT, however, the post that\u2019s received over 6 million views. That\u2019s another version of it, but we\u2019ll get to that in a moment.<\/p>\n<p>First, see if you can spot what\u2019s really going on in this video.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a hint: The commentary provided on the video and in the post itself is just not even close.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C2zmrlVuhYw\/?utm_source=ig_embed&#038;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThis is a kind of tree that stores water up for the dry season,\u201d the post from The Regrowth Project claimed.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-north-american-carnivorous-flower-discovered-hiding-plain-sight-ever-spotted-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">botanist<\/a> \u2014 clearly, neither is whoever wrote this post, as he referred to the tree\u2019s trunk as a \u201cstem\u201d \u2014 but I think it\u2019s safe to say that just about any large plant growing in an area with an annual \u201cdry season\u201d either stores up water for itself or somehow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/extinct-tree-jesus-time-springs-life-israeli-desert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">goes dormant<\/a> until the rains return. However, while some of them store the water in a form accessible to humans, I don\u2019t think any of them turn into organic fire hydrants when cut open.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Could you tell this video is a fake?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>About the only thing this poster got correct was when he wrote that \u201c[s]omehow the tree was gashed open and now it\u2019s essentially bleeding out it\u2019s [sic] water supply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s true, so far as it goes \u2014 and the secret behind the incident recorded here depends on correctly identifying that \u201csomehow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPraying for my boy as he attempts to last through the dry season,\u201d he added. I hate to break it to him, but that tree is firewood by now, as is clear if you understand what was really happening in this video.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Trees can absorb between 10 and 150 gallons of water daily, yet of all the water absorbed by plants, less than 5% remains in the plant for growth.
