There's another art piece from this guy in my city, a monkey, I'll take a picture when it's cold enough to go outside again.
Ooooh post it here if you can!
I honestly forgot about it until now
Cool! I saw a bat in Caldas da Rainha

I loved stumbling upon this on our last visit.
Also the same guy that did the JMJ protest with the carpeted 500€ bills:

It’s trash tbh.
Quite literally, I hope you mean?
The artist also had a Squirrel near Tara station in Dublin, but I think it's long gone now.
