Lego Animals At The Bronx Zoo (PHOTOS)

From Inhabitat:

A different breed of animals has invaded the Bronx Zoo -- ones made entirely of LEGOs! That's right, these colorful lions, tigers, and bears are constructed using the favorite childhood building block, much to the delight of visitors to NYC's most famous menagerie. And to make matters even more fun, each member of this "Great Summer Zoofari" sits right next to its real-life counterpart.

I bet the conversation went a bit like this:

"They're gone! All of them gone!"
"The animals? How!?! For the love of Odin, how did you manage to lose ALL of the animals?!?
"I don't know, what are we going to do? Oh my gawd, this is bad this is bad this is bad....."
Wait. What if we hire someone to make new "animals" out of Legos and tell everyone it is a special summer exhibit for the children?"
"Perfect!! Send Sally over to Toys R Us with a wheel barrow."

End scene.

None of these animals are to be eaten, as they will leave you blocked.

Okay, that was awful. I'm sorry.

The awe inspiring but elusive hasbro tigers' sole means of sustanence is the eggodontia maplesyrupos, or the Eggo antelope. Its mating call phonetically sounds like lay-go.

Do you think the enclosures are made from an erector set?

What's wrong with keep undomesticated animals in captivity if it's done humanely?
