Teeny the Elephant

Teeny the Elephant is a minor Looney Tunes character.
== About Teeny ==
Teeny is a five-inch tall, full-grown, dwarf, gray, African elephant. Teeny seems nice, well-meaning, and helpful enough. But despite all these traits, he is met by most of those unwilling to take a chance on his big-hearted nature, due to the unbelievable sight of him.
Teeny is introduced in the "Punch Trunk" short by a narrator as the pygmy pachyderm arrives on a banana boat and in a city, which looks like somewhere in New York. While roaming around the city, he unintentionally has the tendency to confound and frighten nearly everyone he comes across, and on sight, because of his abnormal size. All those he meets include: A dock worker; a bird bath owner; a woman hanging laundry on a clothesline in her backyard; an optometry patient; a mother and daughter, who named the elephant; a drunk man; a normal-sized circus elephant; a circus cat; a psychologist; a crowd of viewers; and a moderator. Towards the end, when a television interview is held by the moderator with the scientist, Robert Bruce Cameron, the elephant walks across the table. As the scientist reads his statement, he is oblivious to Teeny grabbing and carrying the microphone away from him and heading towards Mr. Pratt, who is aware. Mr. Pratt then says that Mr. Cameron's comments do not reflect the opinions of this station, then he faints and the short ends with Teeny giving a last trumpet.
Later, Teeny makes a cameo in "Unnatural History", but he appears even tinier than before. He is used as a gag to frighten a mouse since ironically, it's usually elephants who are afraid of mice, rather than the other way around.
After some of the moments from "Punch Trunk" were featured in Daffy Duck's Quackbusters, Daffy is being interviewed and asked about whether or not the diminutive elephant is real. Daffy dismisses this at first, but then he's made a fool of once he sees Teeny walking across his desk before him.
