This is a CT scan of a toy lion on wheels. The spring-loaded pull-back motor is clearly apparent in the center of the body. Energy from the spring is translated to wheels (here in red-orange) to make the lion speed across the floor. The density of the felt mane was far too low to be detectable against the wood of the body and metal of the engine. The elastic tail can be seen exiting the posterior part of the toy at the far right. The metal drive shaft and screws appear as a purple color.
