Yulia Markova: "Baobab - tree growing upside down. About that unusual shape of the tree in Africa exists a legend: Once, between God and the baobab happened an argument. Angered at the tree, God snatched it from the ground up and stuck back with roots upward. This explains its bizarre shape. Many people still believe that the roots of the baobab tree are up. In the dry season, in the winter, when the baobab leaves foliage, it really takes a funny kind of tree that grows roots upward. Baobab trees grow in Africa, Australia, but most of them in Madagascar. The islanders consider baobab as national symbol and treat him with great respect.""
