a one-piece animal tag retaining member made of molded material, having:
a first part comprising a female opening connectable to a male member for coupling the animal tag to a body part of an animal, wherein the female opening having a first axis running through a center of the female opening;
a second part configured to accommodate one or more electronical components capable of obtaining information relating to the animal to which the animal tag is coupled;
an intermediate part, located between the first part and the second part, having a form of a latitudinal recess, wherein the latitudinal recess having a second axis extends along a width of the intermediate part, wherein (a) the intermediate part is an integrally molded portion of the one-piece animal tag retaining member, having substantially thinner width with respect to the first part and with respect to the second part, and having different levels of thinness, and (b) the first axis along which the female opening connects to the male member is perpendicular to the second axis along which the latitudinal recess extends, thereby enhancing a flexibility of the animal tag.
