ABSTRACT:
A toy animal which can mimic the walking movement of real animals, including a flexible housing accommodating therein a driving device consisting of a body and various elements supported by the body. These elements include a battery set, a motor, a retarding device, and a main shaft retarded and driven by the retarding device. The main shaft has a cam in the middle thereof, with two eccentric wheels provided at either end of the main shaft. The cam drives a tail rod at a tail shaft of the body to swing left and right, while the two eccentric wheels respectively drive a left foot support and right foot support pivotally disposed on a pair of side shafts at either side of the body to alternately oscillate back and forth. Each foot support has a slide plate which, when the foot support swings forward, projects from the sole and lifts up the foot support so that when the foot support swings backward, a forward thrust force is produced.
