The baobab tree is a unique and iconic tree native to Africa, Madagascar, and Australia. Known for its massive trunk and distinctive shape, it can grow to be over 1,000 years old. The tree's trunk can store large amounts of water, allowing it to survive in arid climates. Baobabs produce large, white flowers that bloom at night and are pollinated by bats. Their fruit, often called "monkey bread," is rich in vitamin C and is consumed by both humans and animals. The baobab tree is also culturally significant, often referred to as the "Tree of Life" for its many uses and benefits.
