After heavy snowfall hit Iowa City last week, local artist Carlos Maldonado took his two sons out to build in the snow. His sons wanted to build a snowman (understandably), but he had something a bit grander in mind.

🎢🦈 Snowy shark *doo doo doo doo doo doo*… Carlos went on to construct a massive great white shark out of snow. The fish measures 20 feet long from head to tail, while the mouth is 5.5 feet tall.

  • While the shark began as just a fun project between him and his kids, the snow sculpture has started attracting tourists from across the city. 

πŸ™πŸ‘€ Looking ahead... Carlos is planning to make an octopus sculpture with the next major snowfall.
