There is a 426.5-foot-long metal snake skeleton on a beach in France! Titled Serpent D’Océan, the slithering sculpture was created by Chinese artist Huang Yong Ping. It looks as if it’s rising and sinking with the ocean’s waves—like a real sea creature! The giant piece of art isn’t just for looks, though. The Serpent D’Océan was also made as a reminder to take care of our oceans and the animals living in them. Catch more fascinating stories like this in Ripley’s all-new book, Dare to Discover. .
