Abelardo is an orange and yellow, 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. Two designs of both puppets were used, the first one from 1972 and the second design after 1978. He was also named as: Abelardo, la ternura de un dragon inocente (the tenderness of a innocent dragon).
In 1981, both characters were replaced by new Muppets -- a full-body bird named Montoya (later renamed "Abelardo Montoya" as an homage to this Abelardo), and a brown Grouch named Bodoque.
