Miniland Zoo

Check out this mini zoo built entirely out of Lego bricks by Steef de Prouw. It has everything you'd expect in a real zoo - a snackbar, a reptile house, zookeepers shoveling manure, etc and even things you don't normally see in a zoo like a tentacled monster! The Kraken, perhaps??
Here are just some of the pics.

Snack bar

Every zoo has one of these: an area with dense foliage, the sign missing, and no trace of an animal. No one's sure if there's supposed to be an animal in there, or if you're just staring under the leaves for a couple of minutes trying to find an animal that just isn't there.

Not your average find in a zoo

There are more fun pics from the zoo. Read on....

  2. We haven't been to the zoo in years. It was a favorite destination when our 3 kids were small. I loved the big apes the best, and then the polar bears swimming, and then the elephants. Your pictures made me remember. (I always hate the snakes.)
