Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is the symbol of Disney's Animal Kingdom and stands on Discovery Island, at the heart of the park. The tree is 145 feet (about 44 metres) tall and honours all animals and the place they share in the great circle of life.
The concept
The tree has gnarled roots and sprawling branches. As you get closer, you'll see the shapes of more than 300 animals carved into the trunk. In this way, the tree shows how beautiful and connected all creatures on earth are.
The Experience
At the foot of the tree are ponds, meadows and trees, home to lemurs, flamingos, kangaroos and tortoises, among others. The paths of the Discovery Island Trails take you right up close to the roots. The theatre beneath the tree shows the 4D show Zootopia: Better Zoogether!.
