Posankka

Posankka

"Posankka" is a statue located in Turku, Finland. The statue, which is located near the campus area of the University of Turku and the Turku Student Village, represents a hybrid between a pig (“possu”) and a duck (“ankka”). It is a pink animal with a duck's lower body and a pig's head.

The statue was designed by Alvar Gullichsen in 1999 when it was placed floating in the Aurajoki river in Turku. The statue has stood at its current location since 2001.

Every winter, a Christmas hat is put on Posankka's head.
