PANDO, Utah (WKRC) - The largest living thing in the world weighs 6,000 metric tons and covers over 100 acres. Recently researchers discovered what the organism sounds like.
Pando is the largest organism on Earth, consisting of about 40,000 genetically identical trees. Sound designer Jeff Rice recorded what this organism's vast root system sounds like in a rainstorm.
One very big tree Pando — whose name means ‘I spread’ in Latin — consists of some 47,000 stems that cover an area of 42.6 hectares in Utah’s Fishlake National Forest.
