The Bellagio Botanical Garden in Las Vegas goes wild for the animal kingdom, with 28 sculptures of animals and almost 10,000 plants and flowers. The centerpiece is 'King of the Jungle', a lion standing over 20 feet tall with his nine-foot-tall cub atop a giant gold frame. The lion, made from grass seeds, cut oat, wheat and barley seeds, wears a gilded crown adorned with the iconic Bellagio “B” above a mane made of 2,500 preserved pampas grass plumes. "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"?, as Elton John sings.
