Giant mechanical animals roaming Nantes February 4, 2008

Posted by Al in : bizarre,design,transport , trackback

This is taking steampunk to an entirely new level. The creators of these marvelous inventions have managed to use metal, wood and hydraulics to make wonderful animals that are also working vehicles. One of these creatures, an 11m tall elephant, is large enough to carry around 30 people without any problems, albeit very slowly. There are loads of pictures here, and a video of the elephant can be found here.
