"Tree in Disneyland" The Tree of Life (not the real one) is a massive fourteen story (145-foot (44 m)) tall artificial tree
that has been the
icon
of Disney's Animal Kingdom since it opened on April 22, 1998. Engineered from
a refitted Oil
platform, it is located in the center of the park. On the exterior of it are carved images
of three hundred
twenty-five animals. Inside the Tree of Life is It's Tough to be a Bug!, a 3-D film from A Bug's Life. It is similar to the tree of Rafiki from The Lion King, though on a much larger scale.
