An enormous pink bunny has been erected on an Italian mountainside where it will stay for the next 20 years.



The 200-foot-long toy rabbit lies on the side of the 5,000 foot high Colletto Fava mountain in northern Italy's Piedmont region.

Viennese art group Gelatin designed the giant soft toy and say it was "knitted by dozens of grannies out of pink wool".

Group member Wolfgang Gantner said: "It's supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can't help but smile."

And Gelatin members say the bunny is not just for walking around - they are expecting hikers to climb its 20 foot sides and relax on its belly.

The giant rabbit is expected to remain on the mountain side until 2025.

As a boy, I frequently erected bunnies on mountains. I erected a few goats in the valleys too.

My Dad is going to be seriously pissed off! Thou shalt not worship false idols etc...

Along with that statue of the naked, pregnant, disabled woman in Trafalgar Square, I'm curious to know who commisioned it, who okayed it, but more importantly, who paid for it (but I'm sure I know the answer to the last one).

hmm year or so of getting wet and rot setting in and doubt anyone would want to climb it and lay on it
