Attention, big-game hunters! Pack your elephant gun into your crocodile-skin bag and get ready to hunt the ultimate prey: a mega-swole rubber ducky so tall that humans probably look to it like delicious breadcrumbs.

Just kidding – please don't shoot the duck. (Or stab it, which actually has happened before.) While this inflatable waterfowl's monstrous size makes it look intimidating – just imagine its sonic-boom quack blowing cars and people down the street – in reality it is a "friendly" entity that "has healing properties," according to the Dutch artist who built it, Florentijn Hofman.
