Beach Trash Sculpture Unveiled At Denver Zoo

DENVER (CBS4)– The old saying is true at the Denver Zoo— one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. The zoo unveiled a big pile of trash that was turned into art.
On Tuesday, zoo officials unveiled Rufus, the triggerfish sculpture made almost entirely out of ocean debris. Rufus weighs 920 pounds, has buoys for teeth and scales made out of discarded umbrella handles.
The piece is part of “Washed Ashore, Art to Save the Sea.” The traveling exhibit opens Sept. 24
