Walked the beach and discovered this! He couldn't believe his eyes: 'There are over 60, all cut open'

What do you usually find on the beach? Sand, of course, shells, and maybe seaweed.

Walked the beach and discovered this! He couldn't believe his eyes: 'There are over 60, all cut open'

TL;DR

  • Biologist Jay Tanel found dozens of cut-open piggy banks on the coast of South Texas.
  • He found as many as 14 in a single day.
  • The piggy banks are presumed to be from South America or the Caribbean.
  • Tanel believes owners cut them open to get the money, as none contained any.
  • Possible explanations for their presence include lost shipping containers or land-based disposal leading to ocean transport.
