Was snuffalupagus only seen by Big Bird?

Up until the mid-80's yes he was Big Bird's imaginary friend. I kind of missed the era in between where he actually became visable to everyone else, but in my childhood and youth he definately was imaginary.\n\nThese days everyone can see him.

Diatryma (also called Gastornis - these were very tall birds, about 2.1 metres or 7 feet tall), some cat-like mammals called creodonts, and dog-like mammals called mesonychids.\n\nTo see a picture of the eohippus (dawn horse), go to http://www.walkerswest.com/img/HistoryPics/Eohippus.gif\n\nTo see a picture of the eohippus being captured by the diatryma, go to http://www.avph.hpg.ig.com.br/jpg/diatryma.jpg

Yes, or at least from some predatory archosaurs. There are currently two strong theories, each with their supporters: birds are dinosaurs (Padian, Chiappe, etc.), or birds are non-dinosaur archosaurs (Feduccia).\n\nIf they evolved within the Dinosauria, as much evidence seems to show (see link), then according to a cladistic classification they ARE dinosaurs (the same way that we are Sarcopterygians, even if we're not fish-like anymore).

I just tested that theory. I put my two parakeets in a pop tart box and threw a big stone at it. It works!!!!! They are both dead. Now I'm sorry I did it. They were nice birds and I miss them. Especially Jake. He could recite the Gettysburg address.

I don't recall them ever calling it "Mister"...only "Snufflupagus", so I don't think gender was ever something that came to light.\n\nIn fact, here's some additional info:\n\n"Big Bird is often visited by his friend Aloysius Snuffleupagus, who is a very large, brown wooly elephant and is known more popularly by his nickname 'Snuffy'."

There is no word as tweety in the dictionary,the word tweety was derived from the word tweet : means A weak chirping sound, as of a young or small bird. \n\n\nTweety Bird (also known as Tweety Pie or simply Tweety) is a fictional character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated cartoons. Tweety's popularity, like that of The Tasmanian Devil, actually grew in the years following the dissolution of the Looney Tunes cartoons. Today Tweety is considered, along with Taz and Bugs Bunny, among the most popular of the Looney Tunes characters, especially (because of his "cute" appearance and personality) among girls and young women. Despite widespread speculation that he was female, Tweety is and has always been a male character.\n\nCreation\nBob Clampett created the character that would become Tweety in the 1942 short A Tale of Two Kitties, pitting him against two hungry cats named Babbit and Catstello (based on the famous comedians Abbott and Costello). On the original model sheet, Tweety was named Orson (which was also the name of a bird character from an earlier Clampett cartoon Wacky Blackouts). Tweety was created by Bob Clampett when he was very high on marijuana, the episode Wacky Blackouts actually refers to Wacky Backy (marijuana). The first known episode of Tweety which was never shown to the public, involved Tweety sucking on a large joint (marijauna cigarette), while conversing with his friend Sweetie Pie which was another bird. The episode ended with the two hungry cats named Babbit and Catstello, smoking the joint with the two birds, and becoming friends, after an initial fight between the two pairs. This is believed to be in reference to the powers of marijuana to make the world into a better place. Never-the-less, no such drug related episodes were ever aired on national television.\n\nTweety was originally naked (pink), jowly, and far more aggressive and saucy, as opposed to the later, more well-known version of him as a less hot-tempered (but still somewhat ornery) yellow canary. In the documentary Bugs Bunny Superstar, animator Clampett stated, in a sotto voce "aside" to the audience, that Tweety had been based "on my own naked baby picture". Clampett did three more shorts with the "naked genius", as a Jimmy Durante-ish cat once called him in Gruesome Twosome. The last of these, Birdy and the Beast, finally bestowed the baby bird with his name.\n\nMany of Mel Blanc's characters are notable for speech impediments. Tweety's most noticeable is that "s" gets changed to "t" or "d"; for example, "pussy cat" comes out as "putty tat" or "puddy tat", and "sweetie pie" comes out as "tweetie pie", although it is doubtful he ever actually called himself by that name on-screen. Aside from this speech challenge, Tweety's voice (and a fair amount of his attitude) is similar to that of Bugs Bunny.

Apart from the beak on a stork? OK, serious now... In the UK the common name for wild geraniums is cranesbill; my guess would be that stork's bill is either a similar usage in countries where cranes are called storks or perhaps even the common name for another plant species... keep looking!

Turkeys have a fleshy growth at the base of their beak called a snood; it's long in males, hanging over the beak (apparently some humans will grow these). Turkeys also have a wattle - a fleshy, red or blue, hunk of skin hanging from the neck or throat. There are also red or blue fleshy bumps of tissue over the head and neck called caruncles. Males have a tuft of bristly feathers at their breast called a beard. I imagine it's all for courtship, etc. - a big tom in full display is quit a sight!\n\nCheck out the picture - it's either a tom turkey or an alien - we're not sure yet...

Those birds look way overweight to me, I don't know why. Didn't see the movie yet, sorry.

Could be bullfinches, except that bullfinches have red breasts as well. Not sure if they have duller winter plumage, but that could explain the difference.\n\nDo they look anything like this?\nhttp://www.birdsofbritain.co.uk/bird-guide/bullfinch.htm

its just an urban myth. some people say that someone in the crew hung themselves from a tree during one of the scenes in the dwarf village, but its really just a bird taking flight. sorry if i ruined it for you.

Yes, and legs.\n\nCheck my sources.\n\nMute Swans are large and powerful birds standing more than 4 feet tall and weighing more than 20 pounds.

Children's Television Workshop created Big Bird to be without gender.  Big Bird is frequently referred to as "he" when other character speak of him, mainly because it's awkward and rude to refer to someone as "it."  "He" frequently does patently feminine things, such as sitting on a nest and carrying a purse, yet is decidedly not female.  This was done intentionally, presumably to appeal to a wider audience.

I think that they should have been called the "tennessee Tuxedo's' after the cartoon penguin....but to answer your question...Titans in greek mythology were giants who ruled over the world before the greek gods, led by zeus, defeated them
