Last year, the Jiangsu Head Investment Group and the government of Nanjing, China held a competition for designing a museum for the automobile's history and achievements. Italian architect Francesco Gatti and his team won with this entry featuring an interactive element: you drive into the museum.
The architect describes the museum as a “movie sequence in which the principal actor is the car”, a building where two car-related panorama go hand in hand: on the one hand the architect’s conscious attention to motorway aestheticism and urban scale – the structures and materials remind one of a viaduct – and on the other, his transportation into the museum of the ergonomics of the interior of a car. The furbishing and details within the edifice are related to and on a scale with its specific functions and it is not difficult for the visitor to imagine that he is in a car on a highway, rather than in a museum.

It's probably 4 inches from its belly to the middle of its back.
Still tiny, though.
Of course, the perspective in the photo might be totally an optical illusion, in which case you can disregard all of the above.
That's the world's tiniest sheep.
They're selling like hotcakes in Japan.
