English: The tar baby is a fake baby or doll, made of sticky tar, which attaches to anything that touches it, attaching more as one attempts to fight it. It is closely associated with Br'er Rabbit in English. Versions of the tar baby appear in indigenous American and African culture; it is sometimes also associated with a rabbit in indigenous American culture.
