A fully positionable articulated lion skeleton by Meddling with Nature. The thing that makes this lion unique is the fact that it is articulated for full anatomical motion. The lion is capable of assuming any pose that a live lion can exhibit. This makes it useful for motion study. Brass was employed throughout the skeleton in keeping with the style of the late 1800’s. It should be noted that fittings and joints for skeletal preparation are not simply available from your local hardware store. Pieces that are not spring have been handmade, including the threading on the specialty bolts. Many unseen internal parts need to have two different thread pitches in order to joint well to other parts. The tension of each spring must be carefully taken into consideration, each rib for instance is calibrated to both the adjacent ribs as well as to the whole of the cage. The lion is able to bend in all directions with each rib moving in harmony with the others just as in life. In fact, each spring must replicate some action found in the musculature of the lion. http://meddlingwithnature.com/galleries/skeletal/panthera-leo/okay but can i pet that kitten -- source link
