A whale 12 feet tall if it stood on its fluke, sits squat on the sands of the Marina Beach. It is a shape-shifter of a whale, combining the contours of a bin and a cloth bag. It is both of these things rolled into one: drop a PET bottle in the bin and get a cloth bag as reward. When one drops a PET bottle in this reverse vending machine, they might appear to be feeding a whale because of the machine’s design.
Needless to say it is not a whale.
