This unusual monument is inspired by the 1988 Soviet cartoon of the same name which features a kitten from Ulitsa Lizyukova in Voronezh who is turned into a hippopotamus living in Africa by a crow! This monument was unveiled in 2003, naturally on Ulitsa Lizyukova, and depicts a scene from the cartoon with the kitten and the crow in a tree. It has since become one of the symbols of the city.
