This Artist’s Sand Sculptures Are So Lifelike, They Might Fool You At First Glance (20 New Pics)
Andoni Bastarrika is no ordinary artist—he turns sand into lifelike masterpieces. While most of us build simple sandcastles at the beach, Andoni sculpts animals so realistic, they could make you do a double-take. From alligators to dogs, his creations capture the beauty and spirit of nature in stunning detail.
Andoni’s journey began in 2010 with a small mermaid sculpture that revealed his natural talent. Over the years, he’s refined his craft, creating larger and more intricate works. Scroll down to see some of his latest sand sculptures!

This is so sad, even though it is sand, we have to try and keep the ocean and the rest of the world clean to prevent this actually happening. Animals are dying left and right because of us, and if we all make a little effortt, we can prevent this.

I prefer to look at it as art. What you say is true, but the man has skills!
