200ft pink rabbit can be seen from space
Artists in the Alps have created a giant pink knitted rabbit so big it can be seen from space.
The 200ft pink bunny, which looks like a huge discarded toy, took more than five years to build out of soft, waterproof, materials stuffed with straw.
The makers - an Austrian art collective - now encourage visitors to its home in the Italian Alps, near the village of Artesina to climb on it and even sleep on it.
But even they were surprised to discover their creation could be seen from space and had appeared on satellite images taken for Google Earth.
I'm guessing they were not as surprised as the first person to look at the photos, lets hope they didn't spit their coffee out all over those Google computers.
A spokesperson for the artists said: The things one finds wandering in a landscape: familiar things and utterly unknown, like a flower one has never seen before.
"Then, behind a hill, as if knitted by giant grandmothers, lies this vast rabbit, to make you feel as small as a daisy.
