The ents are because in The Silmarillion, Manwë says "The Shepherds of the Trees walk in the forests." (or something like that, I don't have it with me right now). The Sheperds of the Trees being Ents. This is before the Elves awkoke. I think the Elves taught the Ents to speak though.
I might be wrong, so if I am, please correct me.
