PHOTOS: Amazing animal balloons

A Japanese artist is making a name for himself by creating amazing animal sculptures out of balloons.

Masayoshi Matsumoto, 29, has thus far created a wide range of intricate figures from the animal kingdom, including a monkey, an ostrich, a parrot, an octopus, a hermit crab, a deer, an ant and a buffalo.

He uses different colors, textures and even deflated balloons (to mimic aspects of animal anatomy) and uses no markers or adhesives. (Caters News)
