Jungle Diaries- A tree that quenches thirst. This is Terminalia tomentosa (Saj/Asan), a remarkable dry deciduous forest species known for its rare ability to store water inside its trunk during extreme summer months. In some mature trees, naturally stored water can be released from cavities within the stem, a phenomenon long known to forest-dwelling communities and wildlife trackers across parts of India. An extraordinary adaptation for survival in harsh, drought-prone landscapes. The water also tastes good 😅 Moments like these make you realise that every tree in the forest carries a story far deeper than what meets the eye. #ifs #forest #survival #fieldexercise #junglediaries
