If you haven’t spotted this clip on your social feeds yet, it’s definitely worth a look. It’s a gem.

Filmed as part of a BBC documentary, this video shows you how a male Japanese pufferfish creates an actual work of art in the sand to help attract a mate. Using only his fins, this little fish works tirelessly 24 hours a day for a full week to finish his creation before the current sweeps it away.

The result is breathtaking and a reminder to us all how awe-inspiring nature continues to be.
