Imagine, you get stucked into the forest. You have no water and you can't find any water sources nearby. Your thirst have no limit and your water bottle is also emptied. What will you do, then?
You must have heard about animal that can store water like camel. But have you ever heard about plant that stores water? You may have heard about number of plants. But Terminalia tomentosa may be new for you. Terminalia tomentosa is a tree that is also called as crocodile bark. It is native to southern and southeast Asia in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. It is casually known as Crocodile Bark tree due to the characteristic bark pattern or it's bark look like crocodile skin. It has numbers of peculiar characterstics, out of which they can store water is the fascinating one. Even a person who visit forest drink water from this tree. The best thing is it is edible and is good from medicinal point of view as well. It has curative value and helps to cure stomach pain. Tassar silkworm moth eats it's leaves. It is also good for making gums that has great medicinal value. Tannin from it's bark is used in tannin industry. Juice from this tree is used as colouring agents for cotton and silk cloths.

Hi Asmita Gaire, this is a mentor, Sang Su Lee.
Thank you for introducing an interesting species of plants. I will remember this information just in case that I might be trapped in the forest. No one knows what will happen in the future :p.
Also, I want to correct one misconception in your article. You've mentioned that in camel humps, there is water. However, there is actually fat in camel humps. This fat can produce water when camels need it.
Thank you for your article. Cheers~

Hello Asmita Gaire, this is mentor Taehyun!
Thank you for the introduction of the watery plant called Terminalia Tomentosa! There are plants like that in Korea, too. It is a plant called Acer picum, which is so famous in Korea that some people take the sap from this plant for their health. When I look at these things, I can feel that nature is mysterious. I should be more thankful for nature's gifts!
Thank you for the report!
Green cheers!
