    One of the oldest and mightiest trees in Africa collapsed in 2016. It wasn't an isolated event: Across Africa, the oldest and largest baobabs have begun to fall and die.https://nyti.ms/2JyCSrW

        And you know this as a fact it’s just a “spin”? So you must be an expert in the field of climatology?

        Did Stanley Kubrick’s set designers pay tribute to the baobab in The Dawn of Man? Or do the strangely human trees in this shot really exist as another species?pic.twitter.com/vKh1PaBGxF

        Look at the water flowing next to that tree! Do you believe that tree hasn’t tapped into that water source? It has been there over 3000 years. It will remain.pic.twitter.com/eXjViFvhTK

        Legend has it that the devil uprooted it and stuck it, upside down, back into the Earth. Sri Lanka now has some trees there that were brought there hundreds of years ago.
