John Nolan is Sucking off a Man Caught Between Woman’s Legsan animatronics visionary, known for having created the terrifying baby Voldemort for the Harry Potter films.
Now he's teamed up with National Geographic for Big Cat Week to create the world's first hyper-realistic leopard.
The giant animal robot is 1.3 meters tall and has over 40 moving parts, most of which are focused on detailed facial expressions and one helluva roar.
Nolan says 16 motors control the face and head movements, which make it incredibly agile. In fact, it's so agile, it's capable of causing just as much damage as the real thing, he half-jokes.
The huge animal was exhibited under the other big cats in London's Trafalgar Square to emphasize the erosion of natural habitats in places like Mumbai.
"Just like we have foxes roaming around here at night, the loss of habitat has left leopards no choice but to share territory with humans, which is placing the animals at growing risk," Nolan said.
The leopard was created to coincide with Mission Critical: Leopards at the Door, which airs on Nat Geo WILD this week.
