Description And Comments
The Tree of Life, apart from its size, is quite a work of art. Although from afar it's certainly magnificent and imposing, it's not until you examine the tree at close range that you truly appreciate its rich detail. What appears to be ancient gnarled bark is, in fact, hundreds of carvings depicting all manner of wildlife, each integrated seamlessly into the trunk, roots, and limbs of the tree. A stunning symbol of the interdependence of all living things, The Tree of Life is the most visually compelling structure to be found in any Disney park.
Located in the center of Discovery Island, the Tree of Life is surrounded by animal exhibits and two serene walking trails.
