For Animal Kingdom's 20th anniversary this coming summer, the Tree of Life turns a new leaf (temporarily of course) into Mother Earth, Gaia, a symbol of our planet's ecology, nurture and commonality.
Mother Earth's beautiful face is formed from a vertical farm of live edible foliage, while from her gentle hand flows an abundant, life-giving stream which gives rise to new animal-shaped Baobab sprouts.
Even "It's Tough to Be a Bug" within Gaia's roots evolves, with a new insect show dedicated the cycle of life, connecting together the natural processes of rain, fire, sun, soil and creature.
