One body was shown with vegetation, but it still can be scratched so we don't know until it's officially confirmed.

I believe that was Lapet/Lapat. It's more than possible that it was placeholder decoration.

But, then again, the placeholder could be anything else, why make it a tree?

It appears to me like they were testing vegetation systems/generation. So a better question is, why Lapat if they could do it on Kerbin? I'm out of arguments why they would do it there, if not for actual implementation later. I say it's 51% chance that we'll see something alive out there.

But it's extinct.

 

The kraken I can agree with, but that whale skeleton is a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference. In other words, it's an easter egg that shouldn't be considered canon to KSP's lore. Just a fun tid-bit.

Like the Neil Armstrong monument on the mun. There obviously isn't a Neil Armstrong in KSP, it's there because the devs put it there. If you want to consider the whale skeleton canon, how do you explain the broken bowl of petunias next to it?

The petunias don't survive in KSP, too.

Btw, in Expanse they have room flowers, so maybe it's left by a Kerbal space crew.

There is also a chimp next to the KSC.
Looks like the terrestrial life forms can't adapt there.

But Kerbals are familiar with the human literature. They found a whale skeleton and left petunias to make it be looking more funny.

You mean the Squad monolith? It's potentially KSP lore, but again it's really one of those easter eggs where it doesn't actually indicate a sign of any specific life. The monkey face and "squad" text is arbitrary. It could be any other picture and any other language and the result is more or less the same from the Kerbal's perspective.

Nate confirmed to us that Lapat does in-fact exist in-game, it was the last shot of the show & tell last week:

I know that, just trying to pin down whether the trees are just a placeholder or actual plant life on Lapat.
