I personally do not see "wild creatures" in these images of thrown sand, but that's the nature of emergence - for a property to be emergent, there must be a perceiver who sees the pattern as something, that is, the pattern must be recognized. Anyhow, this is a pretty good novel demonstration of emergence, and maybe you'll see the creatures I don't.
