Shelly the Turtle

Shelly the Turtle appeared on Sesame Street primarily during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Shelly was a friendly but slow turtle.
He made an appearance in season 29, with the same voice but referred to in the dialogue only as "The Turtle," where he attempted to join the menagerie on Old MacDonald's farm.
The puppet appears as a tortoise in Elmo's World: Hair (performed by Matt Vogel) who jokingly asks Elmo if he has ever heard of "The Tortoise and the Hair". He also appeared in a 2002 episode with a new shell and was named Seymour.
He recently resurfaced by name (performed again by Matt Vogel, but with a different voice), on Sesamestreet.org appearing with Elmo in the days called "Mommy Time," "Happy Homes for Animals Day," and "Fun with Elmo Day."
Shelly was initially performed by Martin P. "Marty" Robinson.
