Baobab... Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Baobabs are very characteristic trees for west and south part of Madagascar island. There are seven kinds of baobabs.
The main characteristic of the tree is its broad trunk, which can reach over 15 meters in diameter. The tree behaves much like a succulent, storing masses of water in its trunk. For this reason, the circumference of a Baobab can vary significantly between wet and dry seasons.
