This 2,000 year old tree is located t Zwigodini Village of Mutale in Limpopo, South Africa.

Venda people call it, “Muri Kunguluwa”, which means, “The Tree That Roars”. The tree actually makes a roaring sound when the wind blows through its branches.

It is also called, “The Tree Of Life”, because it serves as a source of life to the animals and the community that lives around it. 80% of its trunk consists of water and it can hold up to 4,500 liters, making it a water source for the community and the animals.

Elephants eat the bark. Baboons eat the fruit. Leaves can also be eaten. Birds, bees, fruit bats and bush babies nest in the tree. Humans use the dried fruit powder in drinks, as a source of vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. The bark can be used to make rope, baskets, mats, cloth and paper.

It also holds a spiritual significance for African people. In ancient times, leaders and elders would hold meetings under huge baobab trees, to discuss important matters. They believed that the spirit of the baobab would help them make wise decisions.

Utah's Great Salt Lake, in two shades.
Stunning drone video shows the Lake split in two by a railroad -- one side is bright pink, the other is blue. The phenomenon is caused by different salt levels on each side.

The Gathering for Gardner Dragon is probably one of the most captivating examples of the hollow-face optical illusion, but this big version in a street of Beijing is even more mesmerizing.

Platypus is so weird that the scientists who first discovered it thought it was fake. The European explorers assumed an egg-laying, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed, venomous mammal had to be an elaborate hoax

The breathtaking beauty of Germany's most scenic train ride 🚂❄️

The Höllentalbahn translates to Hell Valley Railway, but in reality, it’s a heavenly journey to take when you are in the Black Forest.
