I didn't realize there were such things as wild olive trees---than I thought how stupid there are wild everthing that have been domesticated plants and animals both. Good thing my bio profs can't read that, they'd make me give my degree back! 
Lovely bird, Willem.

Hi Elektra! I actually have a wild olive tree in my garden, I'll see about taking a photo and showing you. And I have photos of me climbing in a couple of big ones in the Pretoria National Botanic Garden. These trees are widespread in South Africa and very cold and drought resistant.
Lovely bird, Willem.

Here is a story of a really old tortoise living on St. Helena's island. The inhabitants there are 'saints'.

Also, here is a pretty wild predator found in North Carolina, Willem.
This boar was 500 pounds. Pretty impressive and they make good eating as well.

It took up most of the back of a pick-up truck.
