This is Scurry, a Beanie Baby introduced in the year 2000. This seems to be a scarab beetle. This is a large family of beetles with about 1300 North American species. They belong to the family Scarabaeidae. The typical scarab is a stout, heavy-bodied beetle. Many species are brilliantly colored. It is common to find them with horns on their head.

The outside of an insect's body is its skeleton. It is made of a light, hard and flexible material called chitin. The body is divided up into three sections: the head, thorax and abdomen. Most insects have a pair of antennae on the head.

They drink pollen from flowers and eat fruit. The larvae can be very damaging.
