Put a fin whale
in your street.
This one is 20 metres — they grow to 26, and can outlive whoever is reading this. Tap the button, point your phone at the ground, and see what the harpoons are aimed at. It will not fit.
Finding it: stand where you can see ~25 metres of open ground, point the phone 10 metres ahead, and let it land — then step back. If you see only darkness, you are inside the whale: walk backwards.
