Mechanical walking toys have been around since the 1800s. Toys that walk on an incline are called "Ramp Walkers" and are an insane combination of Physics, Engineering and Craft. Out of Neoteny come this whole range of Ramp Walkers that help one to de-stress, watch incredibly cute (psychedelic!) animals and as a complete bonus hear the clicka-clacka that is their characteristic sound.

Precison Crafted Ramps for Metronome Clicka-Clackas to walk on. You will need a ramp - do choose between Single Track and Twin Track (for races !!!).

RHINO: A charging Rhino is the stuff of legend. Five categories exist: White, Black, Indian, Javan and Sumatran. All are on their way to extinction via habitat destruction, horn - poaching (for medicine! and dagger handles). They are amongst the last of the Megafauna and can weigh over a ton!!
IBEX Sure footed, capable of incredible feats of climbing, great eyesight and superbly adapted to different habitats around the world, they are fantastic creatures. Yes, and both males and females have those graceful, recurving horns.

The Origins

At their heart, walking animals have a pendulum ! The static leg is influenced by an cunningly located Centre Of Gravity to destabilize the animal whn on an incline. This induces a rythmic motion that allows the 'pendulum' to 'kick-in". Accurate craftmanship combines the Centre of Gravity, the Incline of the Ramp, the Pendulum effect and the Rocking Motion into a precision-oscillation mode. This results in a characteristic "CLICKA-CLACKA' as foot hits foot that is almost as precise as a METRONOME !!!!!
