I've read about this last year, but this is the first time I found a vdo about it. It's a pack-animal, something that can follow troops over various kinds of terrains. Kinda like a robotic mule that walks, runs like a dog.

It's really weird, freaky, especially when being kicked or on Ice and it recovers.

They should put an army of these things in a movie.
