Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic matierial of this new nature. He makes skeletons which are able to walk on the wind. Eventualy he wants to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives." from the main page of that site 0 Share this post Link to post
Bank Posted June 24, 2005 That's quite revolutionary, although we have had wind-powered vehicals before, they have all either used sail or wheel, but the ANIMARIS RHINOCEROS TRANSPORT shows otherwise, it looks very impressive with the skin on, it would indeed make for interesting transport, it probably is an excellent all-terrain vehical because it uses legs instead of wheels. (Although there are small rollers on the bottem of it's legs) 0 Share this post Link to post
