And a giraffe. The Baobab tree is from Tarangire Park and was used by poachers. The opening leads to a hollowed out inside as big as some living rooms. There are stakes that served as steps up the inside "wall" of the tree to climb to an opening maybe 20 feet up overlooking the hillside on the opposite side of the entrance. That's an elephants skull to the right of the entrance.

Pastels with vibrance on that beautiful Roll.........nice!
Giraffe looks like it has a jig-saw puzzle patterning, very cool display
That is one massive tree and aren't these ones that have massive underground water storage to them??

One of our guides said the rangers do not arrest poachers, they are shot on sight. They don't have to be caught with a dead animal, if they believe they are poaching they are killed. Don't know about the baobab, gonna have to google it.
