Woozle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A woozle is a fictional creature mentioned in the Winnie the Pooh stories that is similar to a weasel, and the supposed race of one of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham's puppets.
No woozle illustrations appear in A. A. Milne's original stories, but it is often assumed that a woozle is something like a weasel, and they are depicted as such in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, included in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, as well as the television series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Acorrding to Pooh, Woozles frequently travel with Wizzles.
They appeared in a song named "Heffalumps and Woozles" with their partners, the heffalumps in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day.
In the television series, they are enemies of Pooh and his friends, are known for stealing honey, and are often associated with heffalumps. One particular woozle featured on the series was a villain called Stan. His sidekick was a dim-witted heffalump called Heff.
Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham's puppet named Peanut is described as a mammal native to Micronesia.[1] Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans have noticed Jeff's line being used on MST3K: "He's a woozle, and his name is Peanut."sv:Tessla
