A species of palm tree is perhaps the only mobile tree on this planet. ShareImage source: Reddit 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…

It’s the largest raptor in the world. Wow, now that’s a big bird! That’s how most people react the first time they encounter a harpy eagle, whether in person or in a photograph. The magnificent bird is, well, enormous. Fierce. Proud. Majestic. Greater than life. With a steely gleam in its eyes that almost begs the question, “You’d better not mess with me, kiddo, I eat folks like you for breakfast.” From one angle, the harpy eagle appears to be a person cosplaying a bird right out of the Uncanny Valley. From another angle, it appears to be a Pokemon…

The eastern indigo snake was spotted on the ground in Mission, Texas, USA, by Eric Johnson, who noticed the unusual behaviour. When approached by Mr Johnson, the cold-blooded creature began to squirm vigorously to get away but, realising it can’t, it stopped dead, mouth gaping and contorts its neck to appear as if it is broken. The reptile remains limp and lifeless as Mr Johnson inspected it, but when the self-taught snake expert stepped away it ‘came back to…

Bernardo Silva has revealed when he might like to leave Manchester City, but admitted it ‘depends’ what happens next summer.

The midfielder might not have been putting in top performances for City at one point, though. Indeed, it…

Manchester United are ‘100% open’ to selling right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka despite his re-emergence in the team, according to an update from renowned transfer guru Fabrizio Romano. The Englishman may have earned some playing time since the 2022 World Cup but it is clear that he doesn’t feature in Erik ten Hag’s long-term plans.

Numerous recent rumours have claimed that the defender could move in the near future with the…
