The Walking Trees of Ecuador: They Reportedly Move Up to 20 Meters Per Year
Wednesday 12, 2022
A species of palm tree is perhaps the only mobile tree on this planet.
Socratea Exorrhiza, a tree that grows in a remote part of Ecuador can, reportedly, walk – yupp, like Ents do in The Lord of the Rings. OK, these leafy giants might not be able to wage war on the forces of Isengard, but they definitely have a thing or two in common with their fictitious counterparts, apart from their size. Their complicated system of roots is thought to serve as legs, helping the tree constantly move towards sunlight as the seasons change.
Apparently, these walking trees can apparently move up to 2-3 cm per day, or 20 meters per year. That may not sound like much, but it’s quite a marathon by tree standards!
Love it!

Time lapsed audio reveals that they also have a distinctive call, which, when played back at high speed, sounds roughly like:
“I’m’a walking, yes indeed I’m’a walkin…”
