Actually, it's just a sculpture with articulated joints, but by all the gods of steampunk , it looks glorious.

The product of 60 hours' labor and a selection of used transmission parts, disemboweled household appliances and 20-gauge steel, the mechanical cheetah stands 24-inches tall and 50-inches long.

It looks like a stripped down robocat skeleton, and its joints can be maneuvered to mimic the movements of the real feline or to strike some downright awesome poses.
