Description
Majestic Baobab Tree in Zimbabwe Africa, near Victoria Falls. These wonderful trees are HUGE - just look at the size of the people underneath it! Baobabs store large volumes of water in their trunks � which is why elephants, eland and other animals chew the bark during dry seasons. Baobabs are utilised by humans for many purposes, including shelter, ceremonies, food, medicine, fiber, juices and beer. A typical African Baobab tree has a trunk circumference of more than 30 ft. and they can live to be in excess of 1200 years old. They frequently are the centerpiece or meeting place in remote villages.
