The upside down tree

Yesterday I mentioned the Baobab tree. They are also referred to as “upside down” trees. These are huge trees with massive trunks that go so far up the branches almost look more like roots sticking up in the air. The elephants like to rub against them to get parasites off their skin. The trees also have water inside them, and during the dry season the elephants will use their tusks to tear into the bark of the trees to access the moisture they hold. Those elephants can do some pretty serious damage.
