Abstract
A collar is provided for protecting animals from neck bites from predators. The collar is formed of individual segments in pivoting engagements with each other and has a fastener to engage a first end to a second end of the collar. Contact between opposing edges of each engaged segment prevents collapse of the collar and maintains the size or distance of the interior diameter of the collar during predator attacks which impart force to opposing sides of the collar.

An apparatus for protecting animals from predators, comprising:
- a collar, said collar formed of individual collar segments, each of said collar segments having a body, said body having a first end opposite a second end thereof;
