The Tree of Life, a sculpted 14-story, 50-foot wide tree, is the centerpiece in Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park.

Stroll the trails to see a swirling tapestry of 325 animals carved into the bark of this massive attraction.

Building the tree’s support structure required an engineering plan similar to those used in building offshore oil rigs. And because it wouldn’t be a tree without being able to sway in the wind, a giant expansion joint encircles the tree at each branch unit.

As you wind your way through the tree roots, you find yourself at the base of the Tree of Life and the entrance to It's Tough to be a Bug theatre.

The 430 seat theatre is home to Flik and Hopper where you will be entertained with a 3-D film and Audio-Animatronics figures.
