Behind me and my older brother is the Animal Kingdom which has millions of trees and greens, but behind us is The Tree Of Life. The Tree Of Life is one of the park’s few artificial trees. Engineered from a refitted oil platform and based on the natural forms of baobab trees, the Tree of Life is located on Discovery Island in the Animal Kingdom, roughly in the center of the park. The Tree of Life is a 145-foot sculpture of a baobab tree at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World Resort. It has over 8,000 branches of very different sizes and about 102,000 artificial leaves. It debuted when the attraction opened on April 22, 1998 so its 22 years old and on going.
