The trails around the Tree of Life are really worth some time to explore. You can get up close and check out the tree's sculptures and see the animals that are in various enclosures around the tree. It's a really pretty area and usually not very crowded. Lots of flowers and water features in addition to the cute animals.

The trails wind around the Tree of Life (Disney's most amazing park icon) on Discovery Island. Animal highlights include Asian small-clawed otters, cotton-top tamarins, lesser flamingos, red kangaroos, ring-tailed and collared lemurs, and African crested porcupines. Keen eyes can find the pangasia (paroon shark catfish), a giant Asian catfish. At 4 ft. and 80 lbs., he is small for his species. With the Animal Kingdom staying open later into the night, be sure to visit these exhibits early as many of the animals go off exhibit at dusk.
