Abstract
A tamper-proof electronic animal identification tag comprising an antenna card carrying an antenna and a stud carrying a data transmission chip is disclosed. The stud is unidirectionally flexible, and can only be inserted into the antenna card one time and in one direction. Insertion of the stud into the antenna card creates an electrical contact between the data transmission chip and the antenna, extending the communicative range of the data transmission chip.
