Some things you just have to see to believe.
For instance, how would you know that watching a man carefully make a tiny, elaborate dinner for a bunny, mouse, and hamster could be so cute unless you saw it in live action? Or that a gazillion critters could be hiding in a seemingly deserted landscape unless this happened?
Not all of us have the ability to travel the world and see all it’s wonders—the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, Graceland. But there are a lot of really cool things we can see from the comfort of our tablet, computer, or phone…like a statue that commemorates a melting cow, or a massive POOP sculpture. (Yup, that's right.)
So here are 20 strange sculptures and monuments from around the world! And make sure to SHARE these visual treats with someone you love.
