The world's largest living plant has been identified in the shallow waters off the coast of Western Australia.
The sprawling seagrass, a marine flowering plant known as Posidonia australis, stretches for more than 112 miles (180 kilometers) in Shark Bay, a wilderness area protected as a World Heritage site.
The plant is so large because it clones itself, creating genetically identical offshoots.
