Are there any videos of the elephant walking? That's incredible.

The only other place I've seen animatronics on such a large scale was the first Jurassic Park.

Cool. That reminds of the AT-AT Walkers from Empire Strikes Back, only more primitive.

Wonder what a real elephant would do if it saw this thing.
