Leonardo Da Vinci’s Incredible Mechanical Lion
In
the year 1515, Giuliano de’ Medici presented the newly crowned King of
France, Francois I, with a mechanical lion that walked on it own. The
automata was designed by Leonardo Da Vinci, but all that is left of it
is the diagrams. However, from those plans the lion was reconstructed in
2009. Watch it move, and imagine seeing this almost 500 years ago! Read
more about the lion at Dangerous Minds.
