An enormous pink bunny has been placed 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.

Keep your eyes open because on October 22, there will be hundreds of mountain gorillas running through the streets of downtown Denver. The Mountain Gorilla Conservation Fund is hosting the 2nd Annual Denver Gorilla Run at Six Flags Elitch Gardens and all participants, volunteers and supporters are helping to keep Dian Fossey’s dream alive!

Each participant receives a full gorilla suit — just in time for Halloween. The race starts and finishes with an awards ceremony at Six Flags Elitch Gardens, and all “gorillas” receive a ticket to enjoy the park’s annual Fright Fest. Each participant in the 5.6K fun run/walk will be representing an actual group of gorillas that live in Uganda or Rwanda, Africa
