Walking Tree in the Amazon Forest
We saw a lot of amazing thing in the Amazon. But the walking tree was one of my favorite. It moves about 10cm per year in search of a better spot. Its roots don't really go inside the ground. And you can see which direction it's moving if you look at the roots: the roots on one side are dying while it's growing new roots on the other side. There was another related tree called the balancing tree. This tree doesn't move, but it can change its angle. I love seeing what evolution does.

Did they happen to mention if it was walking away from the sound of chainsaws...?
Assalamu alaikum Reza,
Those are some cool pics from the Amazon, especially the walking tree. The creations from Allah are indeed amazing at times and spectacular to see. But all to remind us He is here. Right? Am looking forward to seeing more of ur adventures bro. -Amina from MN.
That's AMAZING!!! It's so facinating that there are such things in the world. Someday (while it is still there) I hope to visit the Amazon. Thanks so much for sharing!

Wow! I never knew about walking trees. That is fascinating. You are right--evolution is cool.
Thats one cool tree! It looks awesome in the Amazon. If you like this blog you might enjoy http://carolandacupoftea.blogspot.com. Its so funny!
Great Amazon pics. My son & I will be traveling to the Amazon region of Brazil, the Xingu and smaller tributaries this Nov. I've been there before, beautiful place with beautiful people.
I got back from Ecuador a little less than a year ago, and the walking palm was by far my favorite tree. Thanks for bringing back the memories!
Hmnn, we could learn a lot from this tree. Sometimes, I think we latch on to where we are for too long, so long that we don't ever find out if there's a great spot someplace else.
I, for one, welcome our new walking tree overlords.
I like your comment Michelle... that is so true. I have always wanted to go to the Amazon Forest, for now I'll have to settle for posts and stories of other people's travel there!
Wow great tree! : )
Congrats.....being a good blooger thanks for the some cool amazon pics..

I'd heard about walking trees, but I'd never seen a picture. Those straight roots aren't what I'd expected. Thank you for sharing these pictures.
Evolution? Outdated! People, people, people, I agree walking trees are cool, but don't give credit to evolution. It was disproven years ago but no one seems to want to believe it cause that'd mean we'd all have to change our thinking and our textbooks. Heck I'd believe there was a God before evolution any more. As a science professor at OSU, give up on evolution. :)
I agree with the above comment. Give all glory to God the Sovereign Creator. Don't insult Him by giving credit to the tree. He gave that tree permission to move, just like He told the ocean how far it could go, and the sun, moon and stars exactly where they are to be.
I am awed by trees, because they remind me how awesome God is!
it s a grat experiance
