西多摩郡剧孟It is worth going. It is best to drive or charter a car. Six of the eight known baobab trees in the world are unique to Madagascar, while only one is distributed on the African continent. This high concentration of species makes it the epicenter of the evolution of baobab trees. Madagascar’s “Baobab Avenue” houses hundreds of towering baobab trees, some more than 800 years old, and trunks intertwine to form magnificent landscapes, while other parts of Africa lack iconic communities of similar size. Madagascar baobab trees have evolved super-strong water storage mechanisms due to the short rainy season (11-3 month): the trunk is loose and porous, and the water storage of a single tree can reach 2-100 tons. Local residents even take the initiative to inject rainwater into them for use in the dry season. Its fruits, tender leaves, and so on provide food for humans and animals, and its trunk storage becomes a lifeline in the dry season, known as the “tree of life,” while the baobab tree in other parts of Africa is relatively ecologically dependent. In Madagascar legend, the baobab tree is a miracle of "inverted" growth, symbolizing the "mother of the forest", and is given the status of the asylum of all. Important ceremonies such as local weddings are often held on the baobab tree avenue.

yangduoduo17We originally planned to spend two full days here, but due to the cancellation of the Air Madagascar flight, we ended up with only one day left. What a fulfilling day it was. Our excellent guide Ludo decided to fit the two days into one day and we saw a lot - lemurs, birds, chameleons and even a fossa (some kind of mammal). I wish I could stay here longer. Maybe we weren't here during peak season, but there were a lot of times when we were the only ones here, which was very special.
