What you see in the picture below is a Baobab tree.
The Little Prince used to pull them out from the roots because they were a threath to his tiny planet.
There's something that you should know, though.
Baobabs are sacred trees: even in the most extreme drought, they can store up to 120 thousand liters of water in their stems. They are able to surviving 10 years with no rain.
They live 1000 years on average.
Happy New Year
