Abstract
A toy game comprises a simulated alligator body having a pair of jaws mounted thereon for movement between relatively closed and opened positions. At least one of the alligator's legs is pivotally mounted on the body for movement between an extended position wherein the leg engages the support surface for the toy and a second, retracted position. A latch arrangement is provided in the body operatively engaged with the leg for releasably latching the upper jaw in its opened position upon movement of the leg from its retracted to its extended position. A plurality of game objects are placed in the lower jaw to cause it to move away from the upper jaw toward its open position. The lower jaw is operatively engaged with the latch to release it upon movement of the lower jaw past a predetermined position so that the jaws return together to their closed position and the leg moves to its retracted position whereby the toy simulates a snapping action in the animal.
