Back"The Animaris Rhinoceros Transport is a type of animal with a steel skeleton and a polyester skin. It looks as if there is a thick layer of sand coating the animal. It weighes 2 tons and it stands 4.70 meters tall. Because of its height it catches enough wind to start moving."

I remember seeing the guy who designed these. They actually creep me out a little. And it scares me when people call them animals...

Yes there is, these are actually made to be moved by wind but there probably wasn't enough so they had to push.

To argonald =
Yes there is, look REAL CLOSELY at the back, within the many legs you can see human ones. At the end abouts you can get a better view and see it more easily.
