Whatever the case may be, artist Andoni Bastarrika has you beat when it comes to sand sculptures. He creates incredibly realistic sand animals sculptures tricking people into thinking, they’ve crawled onto shore..You can think what’s wrong with these animals chillin’ on the beach.

Bastarrika is a self-taught artist. Back in the day, he owned a fruit shop and worked as a certified shiatsu therapist. "Maybe that's what taught me to see the world through my hands," he said. It was only in the summer of 2010 when, during a day at the beach with his daughters, he discovered his talent while helping them finish a sand sculpture.
