Incredible footage shows the moment when a tree revives from the dead

Youtube user Paul Firbas captured footage of his friend cutting down a tree that had fallen in his backyard after a storm. Nothing unusual, you would say, but the amazing part comes towards the end when the tree proves that it has life in it.

The man decided to cut the tree in manageable pieces so that he would be able to carry them away. When he finishes to cut off a large chunk from the top of the tree with a chainsaw, the tree magically stands right back up in its original position, as if it had never been knocked down.

Well, if you didn't believe that trees have feelings too until now, this amazing video will prove you wrong.

I must say that I really don't want to spoil the magic, but as you would have expected, there is a logical explanation for the phenomenon, and it's called physics. It's obvious that the tree was still rooted into the ground, and the dirt at the root weighed more than the cut-off half of the tree, so the stump retracted and got back into its original position.

Moreover, the root base was still attached in the ground, and the gravitational force dragged the tree back up.
