Baobab


One of the most impressive recreations you will see of jungle vegetation, the Baobab tree. It is home to such curious and interesting species as the panther chameleon and the African spurred tortoise. This flagship tree of the African continent is capable of storing large quantities of water in its bark (up to 120,000 litres) and can grow to over 11 metres in height.
