Necessity isn't, all the time, the mother of invention. Creativity doesn't need any support, it is something that one cannot slave and it simply comes out of the core.

Challenging the hot-tech robots prepared in modern factories with latest technology and equipments, a metalworker in Brugge (town where one can witness frequent outdoor art exhibitions), Belgium, has created a mechanical motorized lion that you can ride as well.

There is not much information of technology and cost of steampunk lion, but by looking at the picture, you may easily reckon it as a cool creation of the city of art or creativity.
