A majestic gorilla drawn in the sand at Watergate Bay is the stunning prelude to the Eden Project’s Earth Story summer event.
The gorilla image, which measures 50m across, was created yesterday by artist Marc Treanor to celebrate Earth Story opening tomorrow.
One of the stars of Earth Story is an incredible life-like mountain gorilla, which visitors will be able to meet in the Project’s Eden Field Base area.
Earth Story tells of life as we know it, leading visitors on a journey through the planet’s astonishing past, precarious present day – and a future that’s ours to make.
As well as the gorilla, another awe-inspiring star of the season will be a giant mammoth skeleton. Standing at more than 3.5m, it will be situated in the Cave of Lost Giants in Eden’s Stage area.
Exploring Wild Britain, they will discover the forgotten animals that roamed freely around our landscapes in the past – and find out about some that are making a comeback.
Clambering through the tunnels and nets of the brand new play area known as the Minibeast Mansion will allow the under 10s to see the world from a new perspective. Visitors can also come face to face with a giant armadillo in the Lost Giants Safari, an incredible Virtual Reality Zone.
