ANIMALS' BOWLING SET

This set is a result of me working on the giraffe bowling set that I made for my wife while at work.  A co-worker saw me working on it.  My inspiration is a Penguin Bowling Set using the following pattern:  www.bittersweetblog.com/2009/01/19/not-quite-duck-pins.  She asked if could come up with a bowling set featuring different animals.  This set includes a barn owl, giraffe, penguin, tiger, elephant, and monkey.  This is the pattern that I came up with.
