Baobab Trees dot Tarangire National Park, Tanzania
Baobab trees against a bright blue sky in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania. The "upside down tree" or "roots to the sky" tree is actually not a tree. It is the largest succulent in the world. Its trunk stores huge amounts of water for the 9 months of no water when it drops its leaves. Its fruit pods are known as "monkey pods" and cream of tartar pods.
