Baobab trees grow in 32 African countries. They can live for up to 5,000 years, reach up to 30 metres high and up to an enormous 50 metres in circumference.

Baobab trees can provide shelter, food and water for animals and humans, which is why many savannah communities have made their homes near Baobab trees.

Bonus fact: a baobab tree can hold 32,000 gallons of water in its trunk.

Not sure how much that is in liters. Maybe 12?

Don't forget to take care of those daily or else they might take over your little planet

Iirc, they're also dying thanks to human-made climate-catastrophy.
