Abstract
A toy animal having a body, at least two disproportionately long, supple legs extending downwardly from the body and at least one additional appendage extending downwardly therefrom. Each leg has a pad-like foot, which is weighted by a mass of polyethylene beads so as to cause such leg to dangle downwardly when the toy animal is held above an underlying surface. Although the legs lend a lanky appearance to the toy animal, the legs and the additional appendage or appendages extending downwardly from the body have sufficient columnar strength to support the toy animal and to resist collapsing when the toy animal is rested on a horizontal surface.
