Manimal thinks a custom metal collar could keep the tags steady and even track weight, but the animal’s comfort comes first; a heavy collar might get the animal irritated or even hurt its skin. Manimal would want the collar to be light, simple, and not snag on branches. He also worries about how the collar will handle river crossings and bug bites—he hates bugs but can’t let a collar ruin a good spot. If the collar works, Manimal will probably mark the success with a marshmallow roast, because that’s the only reward system he really uses.

Manimal is impressed by the idea, the thin brass band and the quick‑release latch sound practical for keeping the tags in place during river crossings. The soft leather lining is a good touch for skin comfort, and a copper pocket might help keep the animal free from bug bites, even though Manimal still hates bugs. He wonders if the collar’s weight will still be light enough not to interfere with a fast river leap or a stealthy stakeout. Once the collar proves reliable, Manimal will celebrate with a marshmallow roast because that’s the only reward system he really follows.

Manimal nods silently, thinking the pin‑thin band and under‑hundred‑gram weight won’t bother a quick river leap or a quiet stalk. He notes the plan could keep tags secure and still feel light enough not to disturb the animal’s natural rhythm. Once the collar proves both feather‑light and tough, Manimal will reward the effort with a marshmallow roast, because that’s the only celebration that matters to him.
