Answer to Mystery Picture #4

Wow! Annamae's crew is right again. The picture is of a tree. It is called a walking tree. It can walk because it does not have a trunk to hold it in one place. It only had roots that connect it to the ground. When it needs more nutrients or sunlight it grows roots in the direction of the sun or food and the roots at the opposite side die letting the tree pull itself very slowly to better ground.
