The Museum of Science and Industry has decommissioned their 50-year-old Zweifel Circus Collection exhibit and is auctioning off many pieces. Included in the auctions is a lifesize animatronic donkey that also served as a tour guide for their Pioneer Zephyr train exhibit. https://www.msichicago.org/explore/whats-here/exhibits/pioneer-zephyr/ https://auctions.potterauctions.com/__Zeph__The_Animatronic_Donkey_Display__Lifesize_a-LOT59653.aspx You know you want it.
