Treebeard, called by Gandalf the oldest living Ent and the oldest living thing that walks in Middle-earth, [T 1] is described as being around 14 feet (4 m) tall, "Man-like, almost Troll-like", and clad in something that might have been tree-bark, with seven toes, a bushy, "almost twiggy" beard and deep penetrating eyes.
It ends with all the Ents shouting, and then singing a marching song and striding to Isengard with Treebeard in the lead: "the last march of the Ents", as Treebeard calls it. Huorns follow, marching, as they later discover, to the Battle of Helm's Deep. [T 1] The Ents arrive at Isengard as Saruman's army is leaving, and they wait until it has gone.

Annotated sectional view of the Parthenon with parts in the British Museum shaded. The statues are the largest pediment statues made in classical Greece and they are almost all in one piece. [1] In addition, they were sculpted in the round. [1] [3] [8] [9] [10] The same care was accorded to the front and the back, though the latter is hidden.
When the 26-foot "Muffler Man" Paul Bunyan was erected in front of a local lumber business in the 1980s, the town objected to the statue, citing that it was a violation of town codes given its substantial height. Finding no limitation on flagpole height on the books, the owners of the statue replaced Bunyan's axe with an American flag. [4]
The Last Ent of Affric is an ancient elm in the Scottish Highlands, [1] designated a Tree of National Special Interest (TNSI) [2] by the Woodland Trust and named Scotland's Tree of the Year in 2019.
