Years ago I heard about and wrote a blurb for the old bean on A giant knitted rabbit in Italy [that] can be seen from space by visitors to Google Earth. – Telegraph<\/a>.\u00a0 Up until a 2011, it looks like, people were still talking about it on web boards and travel sites.\u00a0 The giant bunny is on the Colletto Fava mountain in Italy, lying like a ginormous abandoned stuffed toy with its entrails spilling out onto the ground beside it.\u00a0 It was originally erected by an art group called Gelatin<\/a> on<\/p>\n

September 18, 2005, at 11:30\u00a0am and is expected to last until 2025.<\/p>\n

“We foresee that in twenty years the pink puppet (made of straw-stuffed fabric) will be swallowed by the weather, devoured by cattle, completely erased by the weather and nature” said Gelitin in an interview.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But what’s happened to it now?\u00a0 I scoped out Google Earth just a couple weeks ago.\u00a0 To me it looks like barren land, deprived of sun for a few years, is starting to come back to life within the shadow outline of the bunny that is no longer there.\u00a0 I suppose it could be bleached and growing grass of it’s own, but I couldn’t find any news about it’s decay or removal.\u00a0 It’s still a far cry from the estimated 2025.\"giantbunnydecay\"<\/p>\n
