Abstract
An apparatus for simulating a licking motion comprises a tongue disposed within a housing. The tongue is pivotally connected along one end to a main gear wheel and partially extends through an aperture formed in the housing. A motor and gear mechanism engage and rotate the main gear wheel in response to a control assembly. As the main gear wheel rotates, the tongue moves within the aperture at varying angles to simulate a licking motion.
