Template:Short description Template:Italic title Posankka (Template:Langx) 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 marzipan pig ("possu") and a rubber duck ("ankka"). It is a pink animal with a duck's lower body and a pig's head.[1]

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.[1]

Every winter, a Santa Claus hat is put on PosankkaTemplate:'s head,[2] and on Walpurgis Night it is capped with a Finnish student cap.[3]
