Searching for Ents in Cameron Highlands (Part 2)

(Click here for Part 1)

And so we returned from Cameron Highlands satisfied that we found the Ent again. Here are some latest photos of the fella:
Still the same after 3 years. Thank God for forest conservation efforts!


I managed to snap a photo of the Ent's legs:
Twisted legs of the Ent. Could this Ent be a human being who was cursed by the spirit of the forest to become a tree? My imagination working on hyperdrive here.



Ents are a race of beings that resemble trees. They were created by J.R.R. Tolkien in his hugely popular Lord of the Rings (LOTR) novels that were made into movies and went on to become the greatest movie epic of all time.

Now here comes the part where I tell you that we not only found the Ent again, we also found another tree that looks exactly like Treebeard:

Treebeard is the oldest living Ent and is described as being 14 feet tall. I think this tree suits the description.


If you can't imagine this mother of a tree being Treebeard, I did the honours of showing you:
Pardon my lack of CGI skills, but Picasa certainly helped a lot!


Apart from characters from the LOTR movie trilogy, we also found some other interesting tree formation like this one shaped of a kidney:



And I saved the best for last. We also found a character from Jurassic Park:
 Looks like a dinosour's head foraging for food.


Mossy Forest and Gunung Brinchang is one hell of a movie set. If you're going there soon, remember to watch out for these movie characters all shaped by trees. Who knows, you may even find other movie characters that we missed.
