This elephant was created in France by the same people who did the giant, kinda creepy girl. And then there’s another one from 1947:
In the years immediately following WWII, Europe was badly beaten and bombed out. Morale and optimism were virtually nonexistent. Enter mid- century visionary and successful English inventor Frank Stuart.
Stuart was intent on developing a way to boost the European economy as well as brighten the spirits of the general populous. The fruit of his labor is this mechanical Robot Walking Elephant Car.
Powered by a four cylinder Chevy engine, all hydraulics, tucked neatly inside the body cavity. The elephant literally skates along at speeds of up to 20 mph.
They should put firehose like pressure in that trunk and use it for riot control….
Very cool.

Oh yeah, that’s a great idea. Remember the video of the Asimo robot collapsing while walking?
