THE GHOST AND THE DARKNESS (1996) - The Darkness' Animatronic Lion - An animatronic 'Darkness' lion from Stephen Hopkins' The Ghost and the Darkness. Colonel John Henry Patterson (Val Kilmer) killed the remaining lion that attacked workers at Tsavo.

Created by the Stan Winston Studio, this animatronic lion has silicone skin with faux fur and a mane made of yak fur and horse hair. The internal hydraulics were removed and replaced with a hard foam form. This lion comes on a custom-made foam and straw display to appear as though it is on rocks amongst dried grass. This lion exhibits frayed fibers, and the silicone face has undergone sympathetic restoration and stabilization. Dimensions: 84" x 28" x 60" (213.5 cm x 71 cm x 152.5 cm)

Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $2,500 - 5,000
