A modular zoo for the City range.
Each enclosure is part of a versatile system which can connect in various ways to make your own City Zoo!
The idea is for around 5 enclosures of 150-250 pieces each with a small section of path to connect each in different ways, as well as a small printed piece related to that enclosure's animal.
The LEGO animals already produced that could be used are;
Bear - See photo 5.
Polar Bear
Camel - See photo 4.
Shark - See photo 4.
Ostrich - See photo 3.
Gorilla (Gorilla Suit Guy from Collectible Minifigures) - See photo 5.
Monkey (From Pirate theme and Collectible Minifigures)
Elephant
Zebra (Painted Horse)
Scorpion - See photo 2.

Tiger (Tygurah from Orient Expedition)
Hyena (Painted Warg)

Manta Ray
