User blog comment:GSFB/Ents vs Flying Monkey (OZ the Great and Powerful)/@comment-4552610-20130319040311/@comment-5232784-20130319150838

Good assesment RVD. Especially on experience: while the Flying Monkeys no doubt live as long as regular monkeys (Perhaps several decades or more), Ents have an unlimited lifespan: they can be killed, but if they avoid all dangers or overcome them all, they have the ability to potentilally live forever. Treebeard himself is I think over 12,000 years old, a long enough time to have numerous battles and experience.
