I always wonder just how lonely Trees come to be.Where they part of a grouping that got cut? Did someone plant it? Did a Seed somehow travel way out there?

Can someone ELI5 Pictures like these?

I would imagine an animal ate the seeds from that type of tree, then traveled and pooped it out, then the tree grew there.
