The Turtle

The Turtle is one of the woodland characters who appeared in the Muppet Sing Along video, Billy Bunny's Animal Songs. He resides on a rock on Turtle Bay, the last stop on Billy Bunny's adventure through the forest before he returns home for dinner. The Turtle doesn't know any songs to teach Billy, so they make up a song together.
The Turtle also appeared with Billy Bunny on an unidentified talk show to promote the video, where he is asked how he cleans his shell. He replies, "The manufacturer recommends turtle wax, but I just give it some spit and a promise." 
The turtle puppet has since been used on Muppets Tonight, in episode 208 as a patient in E-I-E-I-OR, and on Sesame Street. He appeared as the Tortoise (performed by Martin P. Robinson) alongside the Hare (the Billy Bunny puppet) in the Elmo's World episode "Fast and Slow," and as one of the hungry turtles in Episode 4202 (named Sy and performed by David Rudman).
