A Giant Robotic Snake Chases Man
Cheese on crackers, would it be fun to work at the eatART robotics collective in Vancouver. In addition to building awesomely biomimetic vehicles like Mondo Spider, they’re currently working on Titanoboa, a mechanical recreation of the 50-foot-long, one-ton prehistoric snake of the same name.
Here’s a video of these machines (almost) colliding — it’s like real-world Enthiran! Finally, a He-Man plot I wrote as kindergarten fan fiction nearly two decades ago now exists in Canada. And here are some other less intimidating snake robots.

Video Description:
Zola, nine-years old, is one of eight Western lowland gorillas currently living at the Calgary Zoo as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Gorilla Species Survival Plan. He loves to play in water and keepers regularly give him the opportunity to do so as part of the enrichment activities they plan and vary on a daily basis.
