Animals made out of Lego bricks came to life at the Bronz Zoo in New York this week.

The extraordinarily life-like exhibit features ten species, including a tiger, a gorilla, a rhino and a zebra.

The latter took 370 hours to build and is made up of 37,000 bricks.

Some of the models are strategically placed next to the enclosures of their real-life counterparts.

The Lego Safari exhibit runs until September 3.
