27 life size 'brick' animals including tiger and gorilla to see at Knowsley Safari

Knowsley Safari will be home to 27 life size animals made out of tiny bricks this summer.

The BRICKLIVE trail is the third to be installed at the Merseyside safari over the last few years and aims to educate visitors about endangered species. All 27 of the life-sized brick animals feature on the Red List of Threatened Species, published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The brick models, which include a Bengal tiger, giant panda and gorilla, can be found within Knowsley Safari ’s Foot Safari, standing amongst the real giraffes, meerkats, Amur tigers and bush dogs. Brick builders spent more than 5,000 hours creating the 27 model animals, totalling 211 days and using over 1.1 million bricks.
