The amount of plastic trash in the oceans is increasing, and its taking a grisly toll on marine animals. Whales , for instance, have died from ingesting floating plastic debris that they mistook for food.

To call attention to the issue, an artist in the Philippines last week unveiled a gigantic outdoor installation that looks eerily like a dead whale, its plastic-clogged intestines spilling onto the ground.

Artist Biboy Royong designed the piece, called The Cry of the Dead Whale , to be displayed outside the Cultural Center of the Philippines in Manila Bay. The whale is made out of garbage, including plastic bottles, straws and bags found strewn on the shoreline. At 78 feet long, its meant to look like a real whale from afar.
