Is a depiction that lacks a head or a body, or depicts an animal body with non-animal features, subject to the prohibition?

Primary text

A depiction does not fall under the prohibition if it is created initially as a body without a head, a head without a body, or if it has a head but the rest of its body is shaped like something other than an animal, because such a creation does not constitute a complete image of a living animal.
