Green Gazelles
From Muppet Wiki
Six Green Gazelles made their only appearance dancing with Juliet Prowse to Scott Joplin's "Solace" on episode 101 of The Muppet Show.
The gazelles were operated by puppeteers dressed completely in black against a black background so that they could move freely about the stage without being seen. One hand operated the head and the other operated the body, allowing the gazelles a greater degree of movement.
Although the gazelles are silent, it can be assumed that each one was performed by one of the six credited Muppeteers on the episode: Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Richard Hunt, John Lovelady, and Eren Ozker.
