Upside-down trees
The baobab stores water in its trunk giving it a bottle-like appearance. African lore offers an alternative suggestion for the tree's bottom-heavy shape: after creation, each of the animals was given a tree to plant, and the hyena planted the baobab upside-down. Location: near Morondava, western Madagascar.
