Where Combretaceae is a dish

The Kruger National Park has a large enough population of these high (brow) browsers for visitors to spot some on most days of their trips.

They can really afford to have highfalutin feeding habits when the trees are in this condition in summer. At such times there is more opportunity for other pastimes than dining when the leafy buffet has this quality: “One has to walk forever in winter sometimes to find something decent to eat!”

They will select only choice morsels of the lush shoots with high protein before leisurely wandering on to the next tree, eyeing its offering with an uppity air: “Shall we sample this Combretaceae today? The thorn trees are really so much better!"
