Second part: That just scares me a little. Though it reminds me of a robotic replica of a shark and hippo, designed mostly for the point of attacking each other....
Can't find a better link, so... yeah (http://shopping.discovery.com/product-55701.html).
That reminds me a bit of "the Truth about Killer Dinosaurs" where they built replicas of infamous extinct beasties (read: T-Rex etc) and managed to disprove that velociraptor's claw was a slashing disembowelling claw but more of a "crampon". But I watched the show and it was nothing like giant robot elephants, so go figure. :P
Hippo vs Shark sounds like a big steaming pile of- yeah. At least "killer dinos" has SOME scientific basis to it more than just "OMG YEAH HIPPO VS SHARK WHO'D WEEN OMGOMG?!"
