There were two people inside the body of the elephant (one just to control the fully articulated trunk - it even ate hay!), and a trailer being towed behind it to power it. All built of salvaged heavy machinery parts.

But this is terrific. A very nice idea to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Jules Verne.]]>Jan 28th 2006 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/we-want-the-30-foot-robot-elephant/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/we-want-the-30-foot-robot-elephant/http://www.youtube.com/?v=sYbaIla2hB0
