What I learned today.....

Today I learned that a certain type of vine in the rain forest can wrap it's self around another tree killing it!    
   Here's how it works.  1.  It startes as a small plant on a tree.  2.  It gets much older.  3.  It get's oxygen from the air and at the same time pulls it's roots farther to the ground.  4.  Once it goes into the grouns it becomes bigger!  5.  It then wraps it's self around the tree stealing it's place in the forest.
