This Zoo Features Wild Animal Replicas Made From Over Three Million LEGO Pieces (27 Pics)
After months of global lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, parks and zoos have started to open and welcome their visitors. However, as people are still very cautious about gathering in public places, these places had to think creatively about how to attract more people. The San Antonio Zoo in the US decided to install life-size replicas of some animals using Lego bricks. The best part is that you can see the exhibition without leaving your car in a drive-thru zoo!

The “Wild Connections” exhibition of animal sculptures was created by famous New York artist Sean Kenney, who is also a certified Lego professional. These animals are entirely made from Lego bricks and will be on display until September 5th. The exhibition features over 30 LEGO sculptures, created with more than three million LEGO pieces, of animals like pandas, lemurs, tortoises, birds like peacocks and bald eagles, and even insects like bees and butterflies.

I like this one best... interesting how they're not huddled together on a tiny ice floe. Their conservation status is 'vulnerable' because of their ever shrinking habitat...

The sad thing is, this may be the new norm for the future of all animals. Humans are taking and killing everything! Humans are greedy f***s who can't understand that they need to share and live with our wild friends. They have every right to be here. Stop being such greedy f*****s!

Each sculpture is unique and took a lot of time and patience to make. For example, the sculpture of baby pandas took 405 hours to make and the artist used 53,460 bricks to build it, whereas the sculpture of a bald eagle took 184 hours and 42,198 bricks to build. It’s good to know that artists like Sean Kenney used the global lockdown to create and shed some light in these uneasy times!

“LEGO bricks have been a large part of many childhoods sparking curiosity, ingenuity, and creativity. Now they can be experienced larger than life, in nature by families visiting the zoo,” said Tim Morrow, President & CEO San Antonio Zoo. “These giant plants, animals, and bugs are the perfect complement to a zoo visit.”

looks like it's attached to the tail, so not freestanding

Gravity does not apply to birds... even if they are made of lego

They had lego animals like these in Chicago last summer. I wonder if it was the same creator?

That's great, that one day the only way to see that wildlife will be LEGO's. Because people take these wonderful animals and kill it torture them for their paws, horns, bile and the most horrific are the gentle intelligent elephants that are taken away and brutally beaten into submission so tourists can ride them!!
Oskar vanZandt 5 years ago
I really like the concept of this kind of 'zoo'... let's hope they raise enough funds to not only maintain the park but to contribute back to the rescue and conservation groups to ensure that all these creatures do NOT go the way of the Dodo!

They average about 10 cents per brick, if you look at brick count and price for the majority of sets for sale.

Just wonderful! It's strange, but some of them seemed to look blurry & others were just beautiful.
