Africa's Trees of Life

Sausage Tree (1x1)

Data di messa in onda: Gen 13, 2016

The anchor of the film is an iconic tree – the Sausage Tree. Large fruits and crimson flowers keep the herbivores well fed when all around the vegetation is withered and dry. Bees collect pollen and nectar and, at the same time, fertilize the flowers. Placed on the branches, we see birds, baboons, vervet monkeys and squirrels drinking the abundant nectar. Below them, puku, impalas and bushbuck eat the fallen flowers.
