Carvings of Wildlife on Ancient Tree in India

MY PAPER TUESDAY JUNE 17, 2008

A STOMP contributor sent in photos circulated online of an ancient tree with intricate carvings of wildlife all over its massive trunk.

Its origins have reportedly been traced to the jungles of Andhra Pradesh in India.

Said Axl in his e-mail to the citizen media website: “At a glance, you may confuse the above tree with a massive trunk with a Baobab tree, which is known to possess the largest tree trunks in the world.

“But, this is yet another unknown species which is seen in the close proximity of a hermitage deep in the dense forest in Andhra Pradesh in India.”

That's the "Tree of Life". It's completely artificial and it's the main center piece for Disney's "Animal Kingdom" theme park. So much for a mystical tree from deep in the jungles of India.
