Abstract
A stuffed animal has a closed fluid containing liner filled with a viscous silicon or silicon/water material. The weight of the silicon/water material gives the animal a life-like weight. The liner is covered by a fur-like plush. The viscous material may be a material used to make a prosthesis of a human organ. If desired a material such as a plastic simulation of a skeleton may be added to give a feel of bone. The "skeleton" may have a plastic memory for causing the animal to retract its leg, paw, or the like after it has been stretched. Small patches of hook and loop fasteners may be used to secure the animal in a desired posture.
