The W'eel Turtle is Made Out of 2,000 Wheel Rims
References: odditycentral
This giant turtle, called the 'W'eel Turtle,' is located in Dunseith, North Dakota and made out of 2,000 wheel rims! Created by George Gottbrecht, it is truly a creative way to save the planet.
It's funny how Gottbrecht did not simply go to a car graveyard and get 2,000 wheel rims; instead, he saved up all those rims himself. If you get a chance to see the 'W'eel Turtle' during Christmas time, I say go for it--the turtle will have a Santa Clause hat on it!
