On Muppet Family Christmas, Kermit stated that the Muppets always carry around rats and chickens...

Besides Rizzo, there are many more rats which had names:

- The Rats from Muppets Take Mahn... Manha... New York
- The Rats from Muppets from Space

Do you know their names? Were they the same? During the Muppet show, did any other rats recieve names?

---//---

How many kind of species live in Koozebane? I know that there are the Koozebanian Male, Kozzebanian Female and Kozzebanian Foob but how many more are there? Did the Swinetrek visit Koozebane a lot? Did it visit any other Planets?

How many Muppets had the honour the wear the «Pigs in Space» uniform? Miss Piggy, Link Hogthrob, Julius Strangepork, Rizzo, ... ?

Thank you!

The rats in Muppets Take Manhattan were:

-Tatooey (a rat in a tank top who acts all tough)
-Masterson (an upper class rat)
-Chester (a rat who is sick all the time
-Yolanda (a girl rat who Rizzo has a thing for)

The rats in Muppets From Space were:

-Bubba (lead prison rat. Sort of a fatter version of Tatooey)
-Fast Eddie (rat who plays harmonica)
-Troy (a weight-lifting rat)
-Shakes (a rat with too much caffeine)
-The Birdman (a rat who studies birds)

Hope I could help.

Is there any chance that some of those rats look so alike that they might be considered the same rat?

What about the Rats in Muppet Treasure Island! Those guys were funny! And in A Muppet Christmas Carol!

>>>Here are the Koozbanians I was able to find at the Kermitage.com Character<<<

Yes, oddly enough the Koozebanians do have individual names...oh yeah missed one, Phyllis(another MErdlilop...gosh I love that Kermitage character guide!)

Now about those rats, didnt a lot of them debut from one of those specials?(emmet otter, or bremen?)

Steve Whitmire pulled the original Rizzo puppet from an old box of rat puppets Don Sahlin had built for "Muppet Musicians of Bremen). He started using it in background shots and slowly they started developing a chracter around it, bit rats are a major part of the Muppet mainstay. hope this helps.

I completely forgot about the rats in Muppet Tresure Island.
Mr. and Mrs. Plagueman. The tourist rats. Funny stuff.
