Great Source of Water







The amazing Baobab or monkey bread tree can grow up to about 100 feet tall and 35 feet wide. Their most astonishing feature is the fact that their swollen trunks are actually water storage. Each tree can store as much as 31,700 gallon (120,000 l) of water to endure harsh drought conditions.


The baobab tree is the national tree of Madagascar, but can also be found in mainland Africa and Australia
