Grandidier’s Baobabs (Adansonia grandidieri) are, quite clearly, the mighty pillars that keep the sky from falling down.
These massive trees are found only in semi-arid regions of south-western Madagascar.
They can reach up to 100 ft tall! Almost all their height is devoted to a thick, columnar trunk that stores vast amounts of water during the rainy season. That way they don’t get thirsty during the rest of the year.
Which is good because they really need to keep their strength up. There’s a whole lot of sky up there. It must be heavy.
