Explanation of work

This is a scene of a crocodile pushing the teeth of a toy called Itaiwanī.
The Itaiwanī toy is a game where you push the teeth in the crocodile's open mouth one by one, and when you hit a randomly set tooth, the mouth closes (ouch!).
I made it as a scene of a strong-faced crocodile playing with an itai-wanī, but I think it looks as if that is saying "If you're watching this, you should try your luck.".
