Famous Cow Tree Milk Exhibit Shown At Museum
The Guatemalan cow-tree now has a full exhibit at the Field Museum. A large trunk section displays surface cuts with milk dripping, supervised by Professor Samuel J. Record, who discovered the tree on a recent expedition. The milk resembles cow milk in appearance and taste and is used by regional natives in beverages and foods.
