You might be surprised to find a rhinoceros lying on a European beach...
But skilled SAND sculptor has been tricking tourists into thinking that's exactly what they're seeing through astonishing animal artworks.
Andoni Bastarrika carves his shockingly realistic creations into the beaches of the Basque Country in northern Spain.
The artist's grit and determination over the last decade has allowed him to perfect his hyper-realistic sculptures.
He now boasts thousands of social media followers who are blown away by his wild artworks — which have included massive sharks and even elephants.
But the artist says some people are even fooled into thinking his beach based beasts are real animals from a distance.
"The images sometimes seem real, and to some it makes a deep impression that at one point, they stop as if I had done a magic trick," Bastarrika told Uztarria.
Which is made all the more remarkable by the fact that he's completely self-taught and only uses simple tools including sticks and his bare hands to make his masterpieces.
Bastarrika started out making the deceptive sand sculptures just to amuse kids at the seaside.
But now his work has been seen around the world after going viral on social media platforms.
