El árbol Baobab (Adansonia africana) se encuentra disperso en gran parte del continente Africano en terrenos áridos y semiáridos (debido a su capacidad para soportar altas temperaturas). Se caracteriza por tener un tronco grueso, largo (que no tiene ramificaciones hasta llegar a la copa alcanzando incluso 30 metros de altura y alrededor de 10 metros de diámetro) y lleno de nodulaciones; es capaz de almacenar hasta 120 000 litros de agua de lluvia gracias a los tejidos fibrosos absorventes que hay en el interior de su corteza (con el objetivo de mitigar los efectos de las sequías prolongadas a la que está sometido).
The Baobab tree (Adansonia africana) is found scattered throughout much of the African continent in arid and semi-arid terrain (due to its ability to withstand high temperatures). It is characterized by a thick, long trunk (which has no branches until it reaches the crown, reaching up to 30 meters in height and about 10 meters in diameter) and full of nodulations; it is capable of storing up to 120,000 liters of rainwater thanks to the absorbent fibrous tissues inside its bark (in order to mitigate the effects of prolonged droughts to which it is subjected).

La copa del Baobab oscila entre los 10 y 15 metros de diámetro, sus hojas son caducas y su fruto (llamado fruto del Baobab o pan del mono, es una especie de cápsula alargada que contiene una pulpa esponjosa con una gran cantidad de semillas), es consumido junto a sus hojas debido al alto nivel nutritivo que poseen, son ricos en proteínas, vitamina C, aminoácidos, calcio y magnesio.
La esperanza de vida de este árbol en condiciones óptimas puede llegar increíblemente hasta los 1000 años.
The crown of the Baobab tree ranges between 10 and 15 meters in diameter, its leaves are deciduous and its fruit (called Baobab fruit or monkey bread, is a kind of elongated capsule containing a spongy pulp with a large amount of seeds), is consumed along with its leaves due to the high nutritional level they have, they are rich in protein, vitamin C, amino acids, calcium and magnesium.
The life expectancy of this tree in optimal conditions can reach an incredible 1000 years.
