Baobabs of Madagascar

I found these while I was poking around on wiki. Here’s a link to the full-sized graphics. Just thought I’d share—f**king incredible!

Holy cow! Those are some trees man! They have a replica one at our local zoo but it does not compare. No chance on stuffing one of these guys in an enclosure.

Boab trees aren't only limited to Madagascar. There are also some very impressive ones on Mainland Africa as well as in Australia. I was planning on growing a few from seeds late last year, but decided that at some point I'd have nothing to do with it. Although, they do grow very slowly. There are some really neat spiny Madagascan palms too.
