Eucalyptus Trees

Cut a tree down & it may grow back taller  

(When you bounce back you may find yourself higher than before)

These trees were once the tallest trees on the planet, well over 100 metres in height.  Unfortunately the largest and tallest were cut down (The fact that no aliens have tried to contact us really shows how intelligent they must be).  Hopefully, if protected well, these trees can make a comeback and perhaps one day regain the title of World's tallest.
