Answer: Mr Snuffleupagus

Mr Snuffleupagus is a mammoth lacking ears and tusks. Whenever Big Bird tried to introduce Mr Snuffleupagus, the adults would tease Big Bird, believing that no such animal existed, but there was proof such as an over sized teddy bear or malted fur. The act of Mr Snuffleupagus being "imaginary" was stopped for a few reasons. One was because the writers were running out of new ways to have Snuffy just barely miss meeting them. Another factor was increased concerns that the adults' refusal to believe Big Bird's claims of his friend's existence would discourage children from sharing important things with their parents.
