Thanks once again pal. Will go with Alana, since that seems to make the most sense to me regarding the spelling, and due to your access to how the name was pronounced from the episode itself.
Virginia the Fox eh? Hmm, must be the one from the episode guest starring "Coyote/Fox".
Well, guess I'll just leave these accessory characters who chased after Stanley out of the listings for now. Hope to hear from you soon, and have a good night.

Here you go Count. My final Animal Show descriptions. :smile:

Max the Wasp was Winnie reused. Only he sounded like Armstrong. (Bill Barretta.)

Morris the Ant was Nemets reused. Only he had a deep cultural sounding voice. (John Eccleston.)

Bart the Coyote had tan fur with a white stomach and had a wild west accent. I'm guessing Bill Barretta.

Virginia the Red Fox was a red/brown fox with a white mouth and stomach and had a British accent by Louise Gold. And the fox Muppet was reused for the Stanley the Mouse episode.

Gallahad the Grasshopper Mouse was a gold/brown mouse with a white stomach and had a tough Humphrey Bogart like voice by Bill Barretta.

Stella the Stoat was a yellow stoat with a white stomach and had a hissing British sounding voice and liked to hiss vicously a lot. I'm guessing Katherine Smee.

Larry the Fish was a gray angler fish with a glowing antenna, big lips filled with teeth. (Puppeteer unknown.) And he was in the same huge tank the two whale guests were in.

Pearl the Pika was a small light brown pika with a dark brown back, a white stomach and had a squeaky Southern accented voice. I think Katherine Smee did her.

Charlie the Chamois was a brown and white chamois with a surfer's voice. I'm thinking Bill Barretta.

And I believe that's all the animals I described on the show. I hope this helps you out a lot. :smile:

Sincerely,
Xerus

Thumbs Up!!!

Thank you Xerus, you've been most helpful. Will finish cleaning up this batch and will send them to my source so he can have them in his website also. BTW: A stoat is basically an ermine in its summer clothes, or a summertime weasel with a black tipped tail.

Your welcome Count. I was happy to help you out. :smile: To answer your question. A stoat is a cousin to the weasel. And when either of these animals turn white in the winter, they're given the name ermine. And only stoats have black tipped tales, but weasels don't.

It was nice sharing descriptions with you. :smile:

Yes, every character from JHAS has been dutifully described by Xerus. And you've helped out too Deanmo with the names of some of the performers. Have a great weekend, what's left of it anyway, and see you guys on the boards.

Hi Xerus, wanted to let you know that ML 13.0's been posted and I gave you a credit as a trusty source there. However, MuppetDude, another one of my sources brought up the fact that there are some JHAS characters from Rhonda Rat's interviews missing. He mentioned the following specifically: The Badger, Lawrence the Orangutan, and Pavlov the Pug. Was wondering if you could go back to the Season 3 episodes and find all the characters interviewed by Rhonda Rat, and post descripts of them here like the others you posted.
Would appreciate the help in rounding out the JHAS cast, and hope to hear from you soon.
Have a good night.

Hi Count. :smile:

I'm sorry I didn't give you the Rhonda the Rat report animals. They were just basically the same animal guests only with different voices. But when I get time, I'll go back and give you the list. It might be a while though.

And thank you for giving me credit too. :smile:

Thanks Xerus. Question time again. Since I added "The Badger" to the listings, was wondering if you could help with the following. Based on your list, there are seven unknown non-named characters to add. Here's what I got.
1 Red Fish.
2 Yellow Fish.
3 Rainbow-Colored Snake.
4 Black and white cat.
5 Brown, black and white anteater.
6 Pink pig.
7 Yellow shaggy dog.
How do you think it would be best to add these characters? Hope to hear from you soon, and have a good weekend.
