40 Times People Saw Trees ‘Devouring’ Random Objects And Just Had To Share Proof Online
Trees grow tall and mighty, and they don't care what stands in their way. Neither signs, sculptures, nor other things that we attach to them can match their strength.
We at Bored Panda put together a list of pictures that show "hungry" trees devouring everyday objects just because they can.
So continue scrolling to remind yourself that nature is a force to be reckoned with. And if, for whatever reason, you need more proof after you're done, fire up our earlier publication about the times Mother Earth made people go "well, that sucks."

Since trees grow height from the top and breadth by adding outer layers of cambium, this bike did not start at the ground and end up several feet off the ground years later.
