Giant Groundsels on Mt. Kilimanjaro (Prehistoric Plant)

Found only on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, these prehistoric plants look like a cross between a burned-up cactus and a pineapple, and can reach a height of 30 feet (9 meters). Mount Kilimanjora is an extinct volcano located at an altitude of 5,895 meters above sea level, located within the Kilimanjaro National Park covering an area of 75,575 hectares. With its snow-capped peak, Kilimanjaro is an extraordinary natural beauty that stands alone above the surrounding plains overlooking the savannah. It is the highest mountain in Africa and is home to rare species that are not found anywhere due to its isolated environmental conditions. It contains mammals, birds and plants that are in danger of extinction. It also hosts a large number of species that have differentiated in the evolutionary process. For all these reasons, its unique nature was declared as a World Natural Heritage by UNESCO in 1987.
