Coronavirus: Michigan family displays stuffed animal zoo on front lawn

The Surowiec family created an "Orchard View Zoo,” named for their home street, as a substitute wildlife park, the television station reported. The usual animals are there, along with a unicorn.

The family has a yearly membership to the Detroit Zoo, but since the pandemic, they have been unable to go.

Zoey and Josephine Surowiec have plenty of plush animals, so that gave their father, Jim Surowiec, an idea. He took his daughters' animals and created enclosures that one might find at a zoo, WXYZ reported.

“That would be so fun because we have an avalanche of stuffed animals," Jim Surowiec told the television station.

The zoo is set up with explanations about each animal so the girls can learn about them, their mother, Kourtney Surowiec said.

"Them understanding the different climates the animals live in, which animals pair together, we are talking about geography, we say, 'Where is North America?' and then we look on the globe," Kourtney Surowiec told WXYZ.
