Hippos, elephants, a polar bear and a red deer stag have taken over the Natural History Museum's west lawn.
The impressive large-scale bronze sculptures are the work of Tessa Campbell Fraser, one of the UK's leading figurative sculptors. Tessa is particularly excited the sculptures are being exhibited at the same place where their life began - as she spent many hours in the museum's mammals gallery studying the form and character of the animals.
The exhibition is the first time the family of animals has appeared together. A selection of drawings and pastels will also be displayed inside the museum.
