Before you reach the junction that takes you into (Camp Minnie-Mickey), youll see the entry to a pathway just across from Pizzafari. It leads down to the roots of the Tree of Life, and there is a charming secret here worth taking the time to explore.
When you reach the bend in the pathway, youll find what looks like a wall amid the tree roots. There are several small openings bored into the wall. Pay special attention to the hole just below and to the left of the uppermost hole. When you peer through it, you have a direct view of a sculpted ant.
Why? Because, as the story goes, an ant planted a seed, hoping it would attract more animals. The seed sprouted and grew, coaxing wildlife of all kinds to its shade and the cool waters surrounding its roots, and when the animals images reflected off the water, their likenesses magically appeared on the tree!
