Zoo built in building blocks

Do your children love to play with animals and building blocks? Well, the New York's Bronx Zoo has recently taken those childhood loves and shown how they can become an art form. The zoo is now featuring a rare animal LEGO exhibit through Sep. 30, 2011. Several of the displays - like this one of a tiger on the prowl - are life-size representations of many of the real animals seen in the zoo's exhibits.
