The Queen of Trees altyazı (767357)

1
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,890
In Africa there lives
an extraordinary tree.

2
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:22,759
She is the queen of the riverbank.

3
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,460
A monarch whose story
stretches back millions of years.

4
00:00:30,632 --> 00:00:35,712
In tribal cultures, her curious ways
have fueled myth and legend.

5
00:00:36,354 --> 00:00:39,554
They set her apart from other trees.

6
00:00:42,528 --> 00:00:45,548
She is a sycomore fig.

7
00:00:46,068 --> 00:00:48,668
Queen of Africa's trees.

8
00:00:49,604 --> 00:00:53,464
THE QUEEN OF TREES

9
00:00:57,130 --> 00:00:59,469
She appears never to flower

10
00:00:59,530 --> 00:01:03,518
yet mysteriously she fruits
several times a year.

11
00:01:04,924 --> 00:01:07,393
She seems to have
no regard for season

12
00:01:07,426 --> 00:01:10,063
and drops her leaves
when she pleases.

13
00:01:12,340 --> 00:01:17,235
Strangest of all is the relationship
upon which she completely depends.

14
00:01:20,794 --> 00:01:23,516
The two partners
couldn't be more different.

15
00:01:24,172 --> 00:01:26,579
One can withstand a river in flood.

16
00:01:27,973 --> 00:01:31,331
The other can drown in a dew drop.

17
00:01:33,798 --> 00:01:38,467
One lives for centuries,
the other only hours.

18
00:01:39,389 --> 00:01:42,692
They differ in size
a billion times over.

19
00:01:43,566 --> 00:01:47,203
At about 1mm long
the fig wasp is so small

20
00:01:47,669 --> 00:01:50,007
that it could fly through
the eye of a needle.

21
00:01:51,449 --> 00:01:54,777
But no fig tree
could exist without it.

22
00:01:59,575 --> 00:02:02,664
Sycomore figs are found
