The base of this plant is the size of a basketball.

Habitat:
Sandstone canyons, forest, cliffs
Notes:
I saw my first Elephant's Foot in Isalo. They are such a unique looking plant. No two are the same. The middle photo is their habitat. They are in the photo amongst the grass and shrubs but are kind of hard to see.
