-31- ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus for reducing drag when sliding an animal headfirst along the ground is provided. The drag reducing apparatus comprises a wrapping mechanism for conforming to the shape of the animal. The wrapping mechanism includes a forward edge, a rearward edge, a forward body portion, a central body portion, and a rearward body portion. The forward edge has a substan- tially smaller lateral dimension than a lateral dimen- sion of the central body portion. The forward body portion is interconnected to the rearward body portion by the central body portion. The wrapping mechanism further includes a first securing mechanism for securing the forward edge around the neck of the animal such that the forward edge remains secured around the neck of the animal when the animal is towed headfirst along the ground. Preferably the wrapping mechanism includes a flexible sheet member and a second securing mechanism for securing the flexible sheet member around the ani- mal. A method of towing an animal headfirst along the ground in the drag reducing apparatus is also provided.
