Below are thirteen of those my sister and two nieces (cousins, not sisters) saw during a recent visit to the zoo. I posted two other animals earlier this week, and will post more throughout the next couple months. Some of these animals are so amazing that you really need to view them from different angles, so please do come back if you'd like to see more. Click on any image to enlarge.

Those are amazing! I love the giraffe wearing shorts.
Too cool! Can't wait to see them in person.
These are fun. We have decorated cows around Auckland a few years ago but the zoo animals are cooler.
Mama Zen: Aren't they just??
Kristen: "People Watching" was a big hit with our group, too. You can't see it in this picture, but he even has a camera around his neck and a "people watching" guide in his pocket.
Alice: They are definitely cooler in person.
Shelley: We had CowParade here in summer 2006 - there's a tag for it over in the sidebar. Pretty cool to get two so similar events within five years, no?
These are beautiful! The Outer Banks of North Carolina did something similar years ago with horses in front of different establishments. They were to honor the wild horses in the area and I absolutely loved some of the designs. Thank you for the reminder!
Darla: I bet the horses were cool to see. Glad to remind you of some happy memories!
Oh, these are great! People in my neighborhood have some on their lawn by their driveway. If I ever become really wealthy, I'd like to buy one of these, help a worthy cause and have a fun yard pet. For now, I'll just enjoy the pictures you've posted. Happy TT!
just outta this world - cute!
making my own mantra
Those are so awesome. Almost cooler than the cows. Almost. *bg*
Ham radio made me laugh outloud!
Very creative. I like the flamningo ande the lion's one leg.
I've seen similar exhibits. They are really neat!
Have a great Thursday!

Those are pretty cool. I really like the penguin.
Brenda: Oh, that would be so neat to own something like this. And, as you say, it's for a good cause.
Divaa: I'm glad you liked!
Jana: Aw, a little partial to the cows, are we? Hehe...
lovesmukiwa: My older niece had to take a pic of "Ham radio" with her cell phone and email it to her grandfather as soon as we saw it. He made us laugh, too!
Colleen:I love the mosaic of the flamingo, and the lion's leg is just one reason why you have to see some of these animals from different angles. There is so much creativity and talent that goes into these!
Hariet: This is the second such exhibit Madison has hosted, the first being CowParade five years ago. I'm glad you have enjoyed similar experiences!
Jehara: "You Are What You Eat" was my favorite of the three penguins. I'll post pics of the other two in weeks to come!
Wow, very creative. I really like the penguin and the goat.
Oh those are wonderful. I think I like the penguin the best.
Happy TT.

Those are great. I think my fave is the penguin, but I also dig some of the others.
Thanks for sharing!
