Watch giant model of E. coli bacteria being inflated

A sculpture of an enormous type of bacteria has gone on display in Scotland for the first time.

The inflatable E. coli model is on display at the National Museum of Scotland.

It is about 27 metres long which is five million times bigger than the real thing.

Watch this cool time-lapse video of it being installed and pumped up.
