First Story
The tree is in the deep forests of Andhra Pradesh, India. Looks similar to ‘Baobab’. From a distance, it’s just like any other ordinary huge-girth tree, looking old and worn.
A close look - the trunk has all sorts of animal shapes as if carpented on it. The shapes are amazing. They are not human-carved because there’s just ordinary/natural bark over the shapes.
Second Story
The Tree of Life, a sculpted 14-story (145-foot tall), 50-foot wide tree, is the centerpiece and icon in Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park.
Paths known as Discovery Island Trails weave around and through this homage to nature. Stroll the trails to see a swirling tapestry of 325 animals carved into the bark of this massive attraction. Look for creatures like Galapagos tortoises, lemurs and cotton-top tarmarins.
A theater is housed in the Tree of Life root system where the It's Tough to be a Bug! show is performed. This 8-minute, 3D movie and multimedia show features Flik, everybody's favorite ant, and his grasshopper friend, Hopper, from the Disney•Pixar film A Bug's Life—along with a supporting cast of insects and arachnids who provide a surprising look into the animal kingdom.
