The last of the menagerie

This elephant was just outside the construction site fence, close to the gorilla (previous picture). I have no idea why the developer or contractor decided (and paid) to decorate the site with all the animals and a pretty fence, but regardless, it turned what could have been something pretty ugly into an attractive, if temporary, addition to the neighborhood.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

I wonder if anyone is living in there - like Gavroche in Les Misérables.

It looks very life like. It definitely adds an interesting touch. V

Love how it looks like it wants to eat at the restaurant.

I wonder what their financial investment was, and if there was some sort of financial benefit?

That poor elephant needs a good wild jungle or savanna! At least a few trees!

The urban jungle...the sculpture did such a good job with this, it looks so realistic. V

It was a good idea, and "an attractive" is a good word as well, Voted.
