Les Machines de L'ile

You probably didn't wake up this morning thinking how awesome it would be to ride around in a giant mechanical elephant. But we bet you are now. Les Machines de L'ile ($9 per ride) are huge robotic animals, imagined by François Delarozière and Pierre Oreficee, that are on display in Nantes, France. While you can take a ride in the 40-foot tall elephant, there's also a mechanical squid, manta ray and other monsters that you can get inside and control. [via | via]
