Watch this video. You will forget that this beast is not an actual gentle giant meandering along the beach. Thanks so much Lindsey Carr for sharing Theo Jansen's wonderful animal sculpture on her twitter feed. But wait, there is so much more...see here.

That's amazing! It looks like something you'd see at Burning Man.

I was able to see one of these in person a few years ago. Very cool even if it wasn't on the beach. Thanks for reminding me about it.
