Visit Austin’s Famous Leaning Tree, a Texas Natural Wonder

Austin, Texas is full of weird and wild stuff, but one of the coolest might just be a tree that looks like it’s about to fall over but never does. This tree, leaning at an extreme angle, has become a bit of a local celebrity. People stop to take pictures with it, some even try to climb it, and everyone seems to wonder the same thing: How is it still standing? You can check it out in the video below.

No one knows exactly how this tree ended up leaning so much. Some say it was the wind, others think the ground shifted underneath it, and a few people believe it’s just stubborn. Whatever the reason, the tree has refused to give up, and that’s what makes it special.
