जीवित पेड़ पुल

What appears to be a scene out of a Lord of the Rings movie,

 The Living Tree Bridges of Cherrapunji, Meghalaya is just what the name suggests

The rubber tree in question is said to have roots that go as long as 3000 feet.

And if you are wondering how on earth they got that way,

As the trees cling to the higher areas of the riverbank,

they send their roots down to the riverbed.

 It is said that over the ages, humans have shaped them to aid as a natural bridge between the rivers.
