One day around 32,000 years ago, an arctic ground squirrel ate parts of a plant, silene stenophylla, includng its seed. The squirrel was digesting it when its life ended.Its body was recovered from permafrost and examined. Scientists germinated this plant seed. This silene stenophylla just bloomed.It is 32,000 years old.The strength, the vitality and stamina of living things — of life itself — is incredible.
