The whistling thorn tree (Acacia drepanolobium) adapts to its environment through a mutualistic relationship with ants. Its swollen thorns provide shelter for ants, while the tree offers nectar as a food source. In return, the ants protect the tree from herbivores and competing plants, effectively enhancing its survival in harsh environments. This adaptation allows the whistling thorn to thrive in areas where competition for resources is high.
