This is what you get when you cross an Imperial Walker from Star Wars with the Oliphants from The Lord of the Rings - a 30-foot tall robotic elephant!

The 30 foot tall robot elephant was built especially as a part of a Jules Verne centennial celebration. Verne, the author of classics like Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Journey to the Centre of the Earth, would have been absolutely delighted.

The robot not only walked through the streets amazing the crowds, it actually sprayed water on them from its trunk!
