"Real big fish: Rose Parade float sets Guinness World Record"

A 34-foot mechanical seahorse float at the Rose Parade set a Guinness World Record for the world's largest animatronic fish.
Hundreds of volunteers decorated the float with corn husks, seeds and flowers, and mechanical baby sea creatures performed a synchronized swimming routine.
Despite rain on parade morning and water-sensitive glues, the massive 55-foot float successfully completed its Colorado Avenue route intact.
