ABSTRACT:
A toy displaying erratic and unpredictable motion for the amusement and fascination of people and pets includes a spherical casing, a battery operated motor having a drive shaft and associated rechargeable battery enclosed within the casing, a flickering element, and means for operably attaching the flickering element to the drive shaft so that the flickering element protrudes from the casing and rotates when the motor is operated. When the flickering element rotates, the casing rotates responsively, thereby causing the toy to move or roll in unpredictable directions, thus providing a source of amusement for people and pets.
