The Baobab ( or "upside down" ) tree, seen on Safari in the Tarangire National Park, Tanzania, Africa. Each tree trunk can hold up to 300 litres ( 66 gallons ) of water, and so in drought conditions the Elephants eat the bark to get at the moisture, and in some cases ( like in this photo ) eventually eat a hole in the tree trunk !

This baobab shirt is a trendy hipster version of the Tree of Life. This baobab shirt is a great conversation starter to share with others about the benefits of this tree's fruit and powder!

The upside-down baobab tree's cream-coloured bloom goes through an amazing transformation on its way to becoming the disperser of new seeds for the giant tree.
