Hypsi are number 4 on The Most Extreme Gardeners. They have a real fondness for fruit, and in time of plenty, heyt will store them for later by carefully burying them underground. Each season, they can bury more than 700 different fruits. And while this keeps their fruits safe from other fruit-eaters, they has not been blessed with the best memory. Forgotten fruit germinate, sometimes more than 60 meters away from the parent tree. They stand a better chance of survival, because they no longer have to compete with the adult for space, sun, and nutrients. By carefully planting seeds away from the competition, the hypsi helps the forest regenerate.
