Stuffed animals are beloved for their softness, nostalgia, and cuddly charm, but some take plushie love to a whole new level—literally! Across the world, artists and plush enthusiasts have created gigantic stuffed animals, some stretching over 60 feet long and even appearing in satellite images from space!
But what is the biggest stuffed animal in the world? From the Giant Pink Rabbit in Italy to Xonita, the record-breaking teddy bear from Mexico, let’s explore the largest stuffed animals ever created, plus some fun plushie facts and FAQs!
The Record-Breaking Largest Stuffed Animal Ever: Xonita the Giant Pink Teddy Bear 🏆🧸
When it comes to official world records, the title for the biggest stuffed animal ever belongs to Xonita, a giant pink teddy bear built in 2019 in Xonacatlán, Mexico.
🌟 Quick Facts About World's Largest Teddy Bear:
✅ Measured 63 feet (19.41 meters) long
✅ Made entirely of plush materials—no internal metal supports!
✅ Built outdoors due to its massive size
✅ Holds the Guinness World Record for the largest stuffed toy in history
Xonita wasn’t just a fun oversized teddy bear—she became a symbol of love, creativity, and craftsmanship in a town known for producing plush toys. To this day, no other stuffed animal has surpassed Xonita’s size in official records.
The Giant Pink Rabbit: The Biggest Plush Bunny Ever
Before Xonita, the world’s most famous oversized plush creation was a different kind of stuffed animal—a giant pink rabbit! In 2005, the Vienna-based art group Gelitin placed a 55-meter (180 feet) long pink rabbit on Colletto Fava Hill in Italy.
🌟 Fast Facts About the Giant Pink Rabbit:
✅ Measured 180 feet long, 135 feet wide, and 16 feet thick
✅ Made of pink wool and stuffed with grass
✅ Was visible from space—appeared in satellite images!
✅ Designed as an interactive art piece for hikers to climb and rest on
✅ Intended to naturally decay by 2025, but fully disappeared by 2016
Unlike traditional plushies, the Giant Pink Rabbit wasn’t built to last—it was meant to slowly return to nature, creating a mystical, fairy-tale-like experience for visitors.
