In the book, the Triffids can walk in places like Sumatra, Borneo, the Belgian Congo, Columbia, Brazil, Ecuador and near the equator. When they walked, Masen said it was like watching a man on crutches. Two of the legs slid bluntly forwards, the Triffid then lurched forward with a rear leg drawing level and than the front two legs sliding forwards. As it moved, its long stem whipped violently back and forth, and Masen felt seasick just watching. It was both strenuous and clumsy, like young elephants at play. It would probably lose all its leaves and break its stem after a while but it persisted at trying to cover an annual walking pace, even if it was ungainly but the fact they could walk made headlines. Even tethered by chains the Triffids could get loose but they avoid hard surfaces because it was uncomfortable for their roots which were more like limbs. Triffids only ambush people in soft earth to dig their roots while they wait, so they would never ambush someone in the street, only if they were near a garden wall or fence.
