Sopwith the Camel

Sopwith the Camel was a seven-foot tall Muppet camel who danced with Helen Reddy in Episode 313 of The Muppet Show.

Muppet builder Caroly Wilcox took two weeks to build the Sopwith puppet. It was performed by two dancers, standing up in the costume with their legs acting as the camel's. The front dancer used his arms to control the head.
