Abstract
A cooler device includes an elongate housing for receiving canned drinks. A lid is selectively secured by a catch mechanism for enclosing an open top end of the housing in a closed position of the lid. The housing has an external surface configured to have the appearance of an animal, with the lid being concealed within the external surface of the housing to provide an entertaining and finished appearance to the cooler device. The catch mechanism is also concealed by the external surface of the housing by forming a release button of the catch mechanism to be a facial feature of the animal which decorates the external surface of the housing.
