One of the two giant inflatable rubber ducks deflated on Saturday only few hours after they officially met the public on Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour.

The pair of 18-meter-tall ducks, an art installation dubbed “Double Ducks" by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, drew a crowd to the waterfront near Central and Wan Chai to catch a glimpse Saturday morning.

One of them deflated at around 1:50 pm, according to the local media. The cause of deflation could not be known immediately.

The adorable ducks arrived in the harbor on Friday and were scheduled to be on exhibit for the next two weeks.
