Creature From Petit Palais, Paris
Here's another weird sculpture of an imaginary...thing. It resembles a mix between a rabbit and a frog. No idea who made it, just that it's on display at the Petit Palais in Paris.

Update - Costar of Ce Glob Est Plat mentioned the following information regarding this sculpture.. "It is a "frog with rabbit ears" from Jean Carriès, a french sculptor and ceramist of the 19th century, mainly represented in the Petit Palais in Paris. Here is a link to a review of a recent zxhibition. "

A short video from the exhibit and article in French can be viewed here.
