Animals are a magnificent force of nature, guided by instinct and intelligence. With all the beauty and variety they offer, it's no surprise that the animal kingdom has been a long-standing source of inspiration for all kinds of artists, from story-tellers to sculptors.

Using mostly scrap metal as well as wires and other discarded items, Franc has given the world stunningly intricate animal sculptures like these beauties below.
