[0002] Simulated animals are life-sized animal specimens made from animal fur or special materials; they can be considered a type of leather animal toy.

With the increasing number of pet lovers, pet supply stores and veterinary clinics have flourished. However, due to various reasons, many pet lovers cannot or are not suitable to keep pets, such as pregnant women. The emergence of simulated pets greatly fills this need.
