The Tree of All Beasts

There is said to be a single tree which bears fruit, and each fruit is a different animal, and all animals are represented (including humans).

It is likewise said that somewhere at the bottom of the sea there grows a tree, green like seaweed and with fruit like oysters, each containing a pearl which grows into a different sea creature. Likewise there is said to be a tree made of cloud somewhere in the sky, whose fruit is birds.
