‘Terminalia Tomentosa, Crocodile bark tree or Sain. This tree can quench your thirst in rare circumstances,’ he wrote.
In the video, a police officer can be seen making a cut in the trunk of the tree water from which nozzles out. Officials present at the scene take turns to quench their thirst.
For the unaware, the tree named Terminalia elliptica is a species of Terminalia which is native to southern and southeast Asia. These are found in places like India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Bangladesh, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. The tree is found in both dry and moist forests in southern India.
Netizens were also amused to know about the tree and its wonders.
It will remain like that for sometime. Later it will dry naturally. It’s stored water, little extraction would hardly have and adverse impact on plant !!
