A naobab, often referred to as a baobab, is a unique tree native to Africa, Madagascar, and Australia, known for its distinctive thick trunk and large, bulbous shape. These trees are remarkable for their longevity, with some living for over a thousand years. Baobabs produce large, nutrient-rich fruit and serve as important sources of food and water for both wildlife and humans. Their iconic silhouette has made them a symbol of the African landscape.
