Amazing animal sculptures made from recycled material will be on display at the Philadelphia Zoo through Oct. 31.

"Second Nature" features works by 12 artists from around the globe (including some from Philly) using recycled and repurposed materials, like a pink eight-foot crocodile made entirely of chewing gum. Philly artist Leo Sewell shows off his 175-pound rhinoceros sculpted from 250 silver serving trays collected from scrap piles, junk sales, and curbsides. Sculptures range from bunnies and gorillas to flowers made from a car hood.

'Pinkalicious'

Think pink for a play this weekend at the Bristol Riverside Theatre.

Pinkalicious Pinkerton has a problem: She can't stop eating pink cupcakes. After ignoring her parents' warnings to stop eating so many cupcakes, Pinkalicious has come down with a case of pinkititis, turning pink from head to toe. What can save her from her pink fate? Can doses of healthful leafy greens save her? The play is based on the popular children's book by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann.
