Has the Amazon changed so much in 100 years in terms of de-forestation and development that super-sized specimens no longer *can* exist? Seems hard to believe. I can possibly see a 30-footer a century ago, the difference (just pacing it off) from 20 to 30 is pretty dramatic, and the thickness probably increased even more-so. jamesravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00870675215940687987noreply@blogger.com
