The Tree of Life is a massive 145-foot masterpiece sculpted by more than a dozen artists. It is 14 stories high, just to give you some perspective.
With 325 animal carvings on the outside, the 50-foot wide artificial
tree is the centerpiece of Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park at the
Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
A theater is housed in the Tree Of Life root system where It's tough to be a bug! show is performed. Paths known as Discovery Island Trails weave around and through this
homage to nature.
As you stroll the trails you will see a whirling tapestry of 325
animals carved into the bark of the massive attraction. You will see
creatures such as Galapagos tortoises, lemurs and cotton-top tamarins.
I would love to go to Florida, even if it was just to see this tree!
Has anyone seen this tree up close and personal? If so, how was your experience?
I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I feel it not. I believe in God even when He is silent. *Written on a wall in a concentration camp*
