Heading for Peking, duck? 50ft rubber inflatable arrives at Hong Kong harbour as it continues its world tour
..This enormous rubber duck is far more than a bathtime buddy.
Dubbed Spreading Joy Around The World, it was designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman to 'put a smile' on people's faces.
The 54ft-high inflatable made its first appearance today in Hong Kong, where it will be spending a month floating around the city's Victoria Harbour.
It has already visited famous waters around the world, including the cities of Sydney, Osaka and Auckland. Its next location is a well-kept secret, but it is believed to be an undisclosed city in the United States.

Scarier than Godzilla when he rises up out of the water naked.

Kinda makes me wonder just how thick the rubber is.
And will it make it's world tour without needing patches.
