The latest in a series of amazing 40-ton sand sculptures at Disney’s Animal Kingdom has beached at the Discovery Island Stage. Right in time for the Earth Month celebrations, this sculpture showcases a new National Geographic series entitled “Secrets of the Whales.” It premieres exclusively on Disney+ on April 22nd, which is Earth Day.
The whales replace the Raya and the Last Dragon sand sculpture.
The show will explore five species of whales: humpbacks, narwhals, sperm whales, belugas, and orcas. The narwhal (right) and the humpback whale (center) are featured in the sculpture.
The detailed sculpture took artisans two days to craft from 40 tons of sand. That’s two-fifths the weight of a blue whale!
