Dead Baobab at Mana Pools<\/p><\/div>\n

A baobab is not only huge but can get very old, too. 1000 years and older are not uncommon. It is one of the most durable plants on our planet. At its death the giant does not fall to the ground heroically. The trees end often resembles wasting away over a stretched period of time into a pile of fibers bleaching in the sun. The clean-up is accomplished by termites \u2013 they recycle the remains in a short time. Nothing remains of the former Giant. Of a Baobab that had died in Mana Pools (Zimbabwe) in 2013 roughly a year later nothing was left to see.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
