It's not alive, but it can walk on the beach powered only by the wind. It's called a Strandbeest, a kinetic sculpture created by Dutch artist Theo Jansen. Made from PVC pipes, rubber rings, and plastic bottles, the Strandbeest is designed to move only in the wind. Its leg system features a special mechanism that enables stable movement in the sand. Some variants are designed to carry sand back up the hill, which helps prevent beach erosion.
