The Alphabet: Y is For…Yodoy Forest
The Yodoy Forest on Panthos 4 is notable in that it slowly moves from place to place. 150 years ago, when humans first landed on the planet, the roughly 700,000 acre forest was 58 miles farther north and 123 miles farther east than it is now. Time lapse video from orbiting satellites shows this in a most astonishing manner. The trees actually move a few inches every couple of nights. Sometimes, they won’t move for a week, but will then move a foot or more in a single night.
The creatures that live in the Yodoy Forest seem to take this movement in stride. Human who have tried to live in the forest get mentally agitated at the constant subtle changes. No human has ever lasted more that 4 months in the forest.
