Only one outlet has reported this so far: treat it as unconfirmed.
Five giant baobabs — thirsty, shrunken, but still alive after three months out of the soil — are heading back homeward from the port of Durban after conservationists mounted an urgent and costly rescue operation to shift them to a new sanctuary in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, which straddles the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces.
