Tech News 4

If you thought the typical cars, vans, boats, planes, bikes, and jets were the only way to travel, you were mistaken. Les Machines de l'ile de Nantes is a collection of gigantic mechanical animal vehicles that are currently on display in the French city of Nantes. They are more than models, they actually move and carry people around in them. These 'animals' even have mimicked life-like movements to make them seem more real. An elephant, giant squid, manta-ray and prehistoric dinosaur/reptilian fish are the current examples of these animal vehicles. Designed by François Delarozière and Pierre Orefice, this is definitely one cool exhibition.
