Baobabs are quite unique (and cool) trees! I saw quite a few while working in Dakar Senegal in the late 80’s. Some were so big that small shops or living spaces were made inside the trunks. Like everything else, they don’t live forever.

Visit the Animal Kingdom at Disney World. They have (besides the human made ones) about 20 young baobab trees growning around the Africa section.

While not yet gigantic, they are thriving quite nicely there.
