Yes dont be amazed these trees have stood for more then 1000 years and yet there are not living.
They are Dead . Then how are still so firm and straight as have pricking the sun come on gET ME !
Well these trees surely have the Attitude You can hit me but cant Pin me !
The fact is that when the Tsauchab river flooded, it created temporary shallow pools where the abundance of water allowed camel thorn trees to grow. When the climate changed, drought hit the area, and sand dunes encroached on the pan, which blocked the river from the area.
The trees died, as there no longer was enough water to survive. There are some species of plants remaining, such as salsola and clumps of !nara, adapted to surviving off of the morning mist and very rare rainfall. The remaining skeletons of the trees, which are believed to be about 900 years old, are now black because the intense sun has scorched them. Though not petrified, the wood does not decompose because it is so dry.
