Walking Trees

Mangroves are also called as walking trees. Mangrove habitats spread by sending down roots from its branches.These walking trees fall in the category of something called halophytes, which essentially means that they can tolerate high volumes of water for a long time. They can also survive the high salinity conditions, which are common in the coastal environments that are influenced by tides.
