Abstract
A push toy vehicle (10) having a rear section (14) in the shape of a half track vehicle (42) and a front section (12) with the operating jaws (22,24) of a shark or other type monster. The jaws are selectively operable by operating means (33) supported within the vehicle, upon actuation by a child pushing or applying a downward force to the rear section of the housing. The downward force rotates the rear of the housing toward the surface over which it is being moved in the forward direction, whereby the operating means is engaged to slowly open the upper jaw (24) until it reaches a release position whereby it snaps shut, in the manner of a shark or other monster.
