Giant rubber duck attacked by eagles bursts in Taiwan

The 18 metre (50 foot) inflatable duck suddenly collapsed on December 31, only 11 days after it had been put on display in the port at Keelung, BBC reports.

Organisers are unsure as to the cause of its demise, but one theory is that it was attacked by eagles.

The duck was designed by the Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman to be a giant version of a popular bath toy.
