Welwitschia is known for it's crazy adaptation, which is it lives to an old age.
Not like a normal plant that lives 5-10 years, Welwitschia lives up to 2000 years.
I bet you are wondering how and why?
Well the Welwitschia slows down It's growth rate, this can be not possible for other plants but since the Welwitschia lives in deserts, over time the Welwitschia has adapted to do this.
Another amazing feature this plant has is to dry out really fast this is because so they can camouflage from their prey, this can help them to catch their food easier.
The Welwitschia have done these things to survive in desert.
Isn't it is an amazing plant!
