Africa's Wild Havens (2016)
S01E02 Camelthorn Tree
Episode Overview
Rising majestically in the semi-arid Kalahari desert, the camelthorn tree provides essential shade for its residents during scorching summer days. It offers substantial pods when food becomes hard to find and serves as the backbone for an extraordinary avian structure crafted by a colony of birds. As one of the few large trees that can thrive in the Kalahari's nutrient-poor soil, the camelthorn reveals fascinating evolutionary adaptations that enable it to dominate these expansive African plains, where survival is a daunting ordeal.
