Abelardo (reptile)

Abelardo is a red, full-bodied Muppet crocodile who served as Big Bird's equivalent on Plaza Sésamo, the Mexican co-production of Sesame Street.

Abelardo made his debut in 1972 and, along with Paco, was active on the show until 1981, when both characters were replaced by new Muppets. These were, respectively, Montoya (later renamed Abelardo) and Bodoque.
