Amazing sand sculpture created to raise public awareness about the plight of Morgan the orca

Less than 500 meters away from Loro Parque in Tenerife, Canary Islands, this amazing sand sculpture of a killer whale by Sasha Abdo, Hans Peter Roth and two local sand sculptors was created recently, to raise public awareness about the plight of Morgan the orca who is currently held in captivity at the facility on Tenerife. The sculpture took approximately nine hours to complete and received much attention from passers-by, many of whom were unaware of Morgan’s story.
