Abstract
An animal head suitable for attachment to a stuffed animal body is molded to form a thin shell and then filled with conforming foam rubber. The head defines open jaws that can fit around a wrist of a person and an elongated tongue that can be wrapped around the wrist and secured between the upper and lower jaws to serve as a carrying handle. By making the tongue flesh tone in color and providing a red coloration on a visible portion of the tongue, a novelty effect simulating blood dripping from a bite is achieved.
