This item is a very believeable, amazingly realistic, full-scale, artificial, animatronic lion replica puppet.  Let us perform this puppet for your camera!  The head is removeable and is animated with radio control.  The paws are rod controlled or hand gloves.  That means an actor's hand reaches inside the lion's paw, and performs it as if it were his own hand.  The eyes blink, the mouth opens.  The amazingly realistic mane is hand-wefted fibers.  The body fur is imported from Germany.  The facial hair is all transferred without any backing, right onto the flexible, foamed latex skin.  An amazing puppet that fools the eye.  Besides supplying these to film-makers, Animal Makers does install these into public areas.  The King of the Beasts sits, breathes, purrs, looks around the area, and it's tail even lifts.
