On Saturday night, the New York City landmark was lit up with images of tigers, sea animals, birds, and more — even King Kong himself got a cameo. Cecil the lion, who was killed this month in Africa and ignited backlash across the world, was also splashed onto the skyscraper.
The light show was part of a promotion for “Racing Extinction,” a documentary on the Discovery Channel airing in December on preserving iconic animals.
